I didn't see this written anywhere else, but it looks like the worst case scenario has happened. At least he was put on IR early so they can plan around him.

SCOTT OUT FOR THE SEASON
The first season-ending injury of note this year comes from New England, where cornerback Chad Scott, a one-time first-round pick turned journeyman turned potential replacement for holdout Asante Samuel, has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a leg injury on the first day of training camp.
Randall Gay has replaced Scott in the first-team defense.
It remains to be seen whether the absence of Scott has any impact on the Samuel standoff. In our view, it's better for the Patriots to have the injury happen early in camp, since it gives the team more time to plan for life without Scott.
Besides, there isn't much that the Pats can do, if they were suddenly inclined to cave in to Samuel's demands. The deadline for signing him to a long-term deal passed two weeks ago; the most Samuel can get from the team now is an agreement that they franchise won't put the franchise tag on him again in 2008
