Summary
Three interceptions and a 3-0 sweep in a live two-minute drill highlighted Carolina's Friday practice, with Chau Smith-Wade and rookie Will Lee III leading a secondary-heavy defensive showing.
Nic Scourton's torn ACL cast the backdrop over the session after the starting outside linebacker was injured Thursday and placed on injured reserve before practice.
Dave Canales said depth rushers Cam Gill, Trevis Gipson and Thomas Incoom helped sustain the pass rush, while teammates rallied around Scourton after he was carted off.
Robert Hunt and Mike Jackson were held out with back tightness and will be evaluated, pushing Chandler Zavala into first-team right guard work and more young corners into top reps.
Xavier Legette still stood out offensively with several catches from Bryce Young, underscoring Carolina's broader training-camp competition despite the injury setback.
