Running backs coach Jeff Nixon expects Scarlett (knee/ankle) to compete for secondary reps in training camp, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old had only four carries and landed on injured reserve in 2019 with knee and ankle issues after appearing in nine games, but his new position coach still likes his potential. Scarlett, a 2019 fifth-round pick, rushed for 776 yards on 5.9 yards per carry in his final season at Florida, and he figures to have some ground to make up on Reggie Bonnafon if he's to have a realistic chance of earning the No. 2 job behind Christian McCaffrey.
