Panthers rookie Nic Scourton diagnosed with collapsed lung after suffering 'heat exhaustion' in joint practice
An NFL rookie made an unexpected trip to the hospital for what was thought to be heat exhaustion, but has now proven to be a collapsed lung. Carolina Panthers outside linebacker Nic Scourton is out indefinitely after suffering the injury during a joint practice with the Houston Texans this week, according to head coach Dave Canales. Scourton has since addressed the injury online, writing: 'Minor setback we good.' Canales told reporters Saturday that the team initially thought the issue was related to the summertime heat at training camp, but when the former Texas A&M star didn't respond to treatment, they sent him to Houston's Memorial Hermann Medical Center for observation. 'It was a very physical play,' Canales said in Houston. 'It was presenting like heat exhaustion because he was having trouble breathing, getting tired and all that. 'We kind of cooled him down. We couldn't get him to respond good enough to where we felt comfortable about putting him back into practice ... then, the symptoms kind of grew after practice, so we checked him into the hospital and that's where they told us what was happening and the symptoms all say this is what it was.' As a precaution, Scourton was driven back to Charlotte rather than flying with the team. 'When you have that type of a chest injury, the cabin pressure, the elevation and all that can present issues,' Canales said. 'The best course of action was to get him in a car, drive him back to Charlotte and continue his treatment there.' Although he wasn't being handed a starter's job in Carolina, Scourton was considered a potential key player for the team after the release of Jadeveon Clowney. Scourton remains out indefinitely. 'He will be back in Charlotte, and we will keep evaluating him,' he said. 'I don't really know a timeline. It's really week-to-week with those types of things. I've heard from the trainers and from different coaches who have been around this where a guy played the next week. 'We have to be smart with that one, and I'll let you know where we're at when we get back to Charlotte.' The former Aggies star is part of a defensive makeover in Carolina after the Panthers ranked dead last in the NFL in points and yardage last season. Surprisingly, defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero retained his job in Charlotte.

The news was made public by Panthers coach Dave Canales after Saturday's 20-3 loss to the Texans. After visiting the hospital, Scourton was driven back to Charlotte, as reported by Athlon Sports. Coach Dave Canales speaks out 'It was a very physical play. It was presenting like a heat exhaustion, because he was having trouble breathing. He was getting tired and all that, so we kind of cooled him down we couldn't get him to respond good enough to where we felt comfortable about putting him back into practice,' Canales said, as reported by ESPN. 'It's really week-to-week with those types of things,' Canales said. 'I've heard from trainers, from different coaches, where a guy played the next week. So we've got to be smart on that one and let you know where we're at once we get back to Charlotte.' So far in practice, Scourton has managed to sack the Cleveland Browns' QB Shedeur Sanders in last week's preseason game. 'Carolina backup quarterback Andy Dalton suffered an elbow injury after being hit during a throw Saturday. Canales said the 37-year-old will have imaging Sunday, adding Dalton told him he was fine,' Newton said. 'Starting quarterback Bryce Young was 0-for-2 passing in six plays with a sack as Carolina fell to 0-2 in the preseason. Canales said Young and the starters will not play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers,' Newton added. The Panthers have their next preseason game scheduled against the Pittsburgh Steelers on August 21. – With inputs from Stuti Gupta

Panthers rookie linebacker Nic Scourton out with collapsed lung
HOUSTON (AP) — Carolina rookie outside linebacker Nic Scourton is expected to miss some time after he sustained a collapsed lung during a joint practice with the Houston Texans this week. Coach Dave Canales said Saturday that they first believed it was a heat-related issue on Thursday, but when he wasn't getting better they checked him into a hospital to be evaluated. 'It was a very physical play,' Canales said. 'It was presenting like heat exhaustion because he was having trouble breathing, getting tired and all that. We kind of cooled him down. We couldn't get him to respond good enough to where we felt comfortable about putting him back into practice … then, the symptoms kind of grew after practice, so we checked him into the hospital and that's where they told us what was happening and the symptoms all say this is what it was.' The second-round pick from Texas A&M was driving back to Charlotte instead of flying with the team as a precaution. 'When you have that type of a chest injury, the cabin pressure, the elevation and all that can present issues,' Canales said. 'The best course of action was to get him in a car, drive him back to Charlotte and continue his treatment there.' Canales said he wasn't sure how long this would keep Scourton off the field.
