Eagles' Boston Scott: Back with Eagles on one-year deal
Rotowire
The Eagles re-signed Scott a one-year contract Tuesday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.
Scott turns 28 in April and has spent his entire five-year career with the Eagles as a backup running back. The Eagles reportedly added Rashaad Penny to their backfield Tuesday, and it wouldn't be surprising if Philadelphia isn't done bolstering its backfield. Scott would likely need one or two injuries ahead of him in order to land on the fantasy radar. He handled just 54 carries for 217 yards and three touchdowns in 2022.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Free agency looms
Rotowire
Scott logged 54 carries for 217 yards and three touchdowns across 15 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2022. He also secured five of six targets for 15 yards.
Scott was additionally an important contributor on special teams for Philadelphia, as he amassed 406 yards as a kick returner. The soon-to-be 28-year-old is scheduled to become a free agent when the new league year begins, but he could realistically re-sign with the Eagles on another one-year deal, as he did in both 2021 and 2022. Scott has been consistently reliable across his five years with Philadelphia, never once dipping below 4.0 YPC.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Gets into end zone Sunday
Rotowire
Scott carried the ball nine times for a season-high 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Giants.
The running back scored Philadelphia's only TD of the game on an eight-yard run in the first quarter and wound up leading the team in rushing yards, as with the Eagles ahead 16-0 at the half, they had little incentive to give Miles Sanders a heavy workload. Scott wraps up the regular season with 217 rushing yards and three touchdowns over 15 games in a depth role, and his usage isn't likely to change in the playoffs.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Two carries in loss
Rotowire
Scott rushed twice for six yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Saints.
Scott made a minimal impact in a game in which the Eagles offense fell flat as a unit, though his two carries were two more than he'd managed in either of the previous two weeks. He also out-snapped fellow depth running back Kenneth Gainwell by a 18-15 margin and tied him in touches. That could have made Scott an interesting Week 18 play had the Eagles managed to secure a first-round bye this week, allowing them to rest their starters for the regular-season finale, but the loss means that Miles Sanders will remain the only Philadelphia running back worth considering.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Barely sees field
Rotowire
Scott did not receive a touch in Sunday's win over the Bears.
Scott recorded a season-high seven touches in each of the previous two weeks, but he saw the field for just four offensive snaps this time around. He did at least make some impact on the game, as his 58-yard kickoff return to open the second half led to a quick touchdown. Fellow depth running back Kenneth Gainwell was on the field for 29 offensive snaps, which means he's probably the guy to get for those speculating that Miles Sanders could be rested Week 18.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Reaches end zone
Rotowire
Scott rushed six times for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-22 win over the Giants. He also caught one pass for four yards.
Scott found the end zone for the second time this season. His three-yard rush late in the fourth quarter stretched the Eagles' lead to 34 points. While he did wind up with a season-high seven touches for the second consecutive week, five of those came with the game well out of reach in the fourth quarter.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Six carries and one catch
Rotowire
Scott carried the ball six times for 16 yards and caught one pass for five more yards in Sunday's big win over the Titans.
Scott had just four fewer carries and eight fewer yards than starting running back Miles Sanders, but that's primarily thanks to the fact that the Eagles had so much success in the passing game that they didn't need to do much on the ground. Scott has now reached seven touches twice this season but has yet to receive more than that.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Minor role in big ground game
Rotowire
Scott carried the ball three times for 24 yards in Sunday's 40-33 win over the Packers.
The Eagles rushed 49 times for 363 yards on the day, but with 300 of those yards being gained by Jalen Hurts and Miles Sanders, little was left for Scott to do. All three of Scott's carries came in the fourth quarter. One of those rushing attempts led to a 19-yard gain, a season high for Scott, but the fact that he was largely a non-factor despite his team's big day on the ground further reinforces the fact that he's at least one injury away from fantasy relevance.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Touches ball five times
Rotowire
Scott carried the ball three times for eight yards and caught two passes for four more yards in Sunday's win over the Colts.
Scott received 13 offensive snaps compared to 11 for Kenneth Gainwell and out-touched his fellow running back by a five to one margin, though neither provided much fantasy value. If Scott starts to consistently see the field more frequently than Gainwell, he'd become the player more useful to roster as cover for a Miles Sanders injury, but he's gained a total of just 90 yards this season and found the end zone just once, so he's a long way from fantasy relevance at the moment.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Receives one carry
Rotowire
Scott rushed once for five yards in Monday's Week 10 loss to Washington.
The Eagles were limited to just 50 offensive snaps as the Commanders dominated time of possession. Scott was on the field for just five of those snaps and made a minimal impression.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Plays minimal role
Rotowire
Scott carried the ball once for five yards in Thursday's win against the Texans.
Scott carried the ball a season-high seven times Week 8 but saw his role evaporate almost entirely Week 9. He saw the field for just five offensive steps, making him the clear third choice behind Miles Sanders (42 snaps) and Kenneth Gainwell (18 snaps).

Eagles' Boston Scott: Season-high seven carries
Rotowire
Scott gained 21 yards on seven carries in Sunday's win over the Steelers.
Scott's seven carries represented a new season high, but that was entirely the product of some garbage-time action in a game the undefeated Eagles won by 22 points. All of his touches came in the fourth quarter with Gardner Minshew under center to close out a comfortable victory. Scott remains unlikely to fill a fantasy-relevant role unless starting running back Miles Sanders gets hurt.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Carries ball six times
Rotowire
Scott rushed for 16 yards on a season-high six carries in Sunday's win over the Cowboys.
Scott out-carried fellow depth running back Kenneth Gainwell, 6-5, rushing the ball more than either back had gotten the chance to in any previous game this season. That still added up to a very modest overall performance, however, and it's unlikely Scott makes a much larger impact on future games if he continues to see the field for just 10 snaps like he did against Dallas.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Ready to roll
Rotowire
Scott (ribs) isn't listed on the Week 6 injury report ahead of a matchup with the Cowboys on Sunday.
While Scott was out the past two weeks, Miles Sanders played 67 and 74 percent of snaps on offense, up from between 52 and 59 percent over the first three weeks. In fact, Sanders' snap share has grown slightly larger with each passing week this season, though the trend could change Sunday if both Scott and Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) are available.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Inactive Sunday
Rotowire
Scott (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Sage Hurley of the Eagles' official site reports.
With Scott still out this week, Kenneth Gainwell and Trey Sermon are in line to continue to log complementary snaps behind top back Miles Sanders, who racked up 27 carries in the Eagles' Week 4 win over the Jaguars.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Questionable to face Cardinals
Rotowire
Scott (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Arizona.
Scott's status mostly is of fantasy interest insofar as it relates to Miles Sanders' value. With Scott out last week, Sanders had career highs for carries and rushing yards in a win over the Jaguars, while Kenneth Gainwell merely handled his usual role off the bench. Sanders now has a firm grip on the lead role, but he could lose some snaps if Scott avoids the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Logs another limited session
Rotowire
Scott (rib) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Scott has now opened the week with consecutive limited sessions, after he missed Sunday's 29-21 victory over the Jaguars with a rib injury he presumably picked up in Week 3 against Washington. The 27-year-old running back's participation in Friday's practice should provide additional clarity regarding his availability against Arizona this weekend, but Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell would be in line to receive additional touches should Scott eventually be ruled out Sunday.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Scott (rib) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.
Scott's limited activity seemingly gives him a shot to return for Sunday's game in Arizona, after his absence from the Week 4 win over Jacksonville helped Miles Sanders set career highs for carries (27) and rushing yards (134). Kenneth Gainwell more or less handled his usual role in terms of both snap share and touches, but it's possible he gets somewhat more involved if Scott misses another game.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Won't suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Scott (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
After missing all three practices this week due to a rib injury, Scott unsurprisingly won't be available to Philly's offense Week 4. While Miles Sanders has been the team's unquestioned No. 1 running back this season, the second and third options have received snaps and touches. Kenneth Gainwell figures to remain the No. 2 back on Sunday, with Trey Sermon active for the first time as an Eagle.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Unlikely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Friday that Scott (ribs) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Scott didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday due to a rib issue that he presumably picked up in the team's Week 3 win over Washington and probably won't be available for Week 4. In his likely absence, Trey Sermon is expected to make his Eagles debut as the third-string RB behind Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell.
