Boston Scott - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Announces retirement Scott announced his retirement from the NFL via his personal social media accounts Wednesday.

Impact Scott last suited up for NFL action in 2013, when he appeared in 15 regular-season games with the Eagles. A 2018 sixth-round pick, Scott played six seasons with the Eagles and also spent time on the practice squads of the Saints, Rams and Steelers.

Gets look from Baltimore The Ravens hosted Scott for a workout over the weekend, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Impact Scott did not play in 2024, but he spent the prior six years with the Eagles and finished the 2023 regular season with 20 carries for 86 yards and four catches (on six targets) for 52 yards across 15 games. The Ravens are looking to bolster their depth out of the backfield due to injuries to Keaton Mitchell (undisclosed), Rasheen Ali (undisclosed) and Marcus Major (concussion).

Back to full health Scott is back in playing shape after rehabbing a partial meniscus tear he sustained before the start of the regular season, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Scott's first stop as he searches for a new opportunity will be New Orleans, where he has an upcoming workout. With Kendre Miller (hamstring) recently having been sent to injured reserve, it makes sense that the Saints are exploring their options at running back.

Cut from practice squad The Steelers released Scott (undisclosed) from their practice squad with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Scott spent two weeks with Pittsburgh after he failed to win a 53-man roster spot with the Rams out of training camp. The veteran running back will look for an opportunity elsewhere once healthy.

Dealing with injury Scott (undisclosed) was placed on the Steelers' practice squad injured list Sunday.

Impact Scott signed with Pittsburgh's practice squad Friday after being waived by the Rams. It's not clear what the injury is or how much time he could end up missing, but his move to the injured list will force him to miss at least four weeks before he's eligible to return to practice.

Goes to Pittsburgh's practice squad The Steelers signed Scott to their practice squad Friday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Impact Scott spent the preseason with the Rams and totaled a team-leading 157 rushing yards on 36 carries while adding 10 yards on three catches across three exhibition contests. However, the veteran ball carrier was released Sunday, and he'll now add to Pittsburgh's organizational depth at running back. Scott has extensive NFL experience, totaling 1,295 career rushing yards with 16 touchdowns on 302 carries along with 71 receptions for 566 yards and another touchdown over 75 regular-season games with Philadelphia covering six seasons.

Let go by Rams The Rams released Scott on Sunday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

Impact Scott signed with the Rams in April after spending the first six years of his career in Philadelphia where he primarily played as a third-down back. The 29-year-old's playing time hit a career low during his final campaign with the Eagles, tallying just 20 carries for 86 yards across 15 regular-season appearances. He also dealt with a minor leg injury this preseason, though he had strong showings in all three of the Rams' preseason contests. Nevertheless, it appears he was left on the outside looking in, as according to Schultz, the Rams plan to stick with three running backs for regular season. This should leave Ronnie Rivers, Zach Evans and SaRodorick Thompson as the likely candidates to back up Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Scott should now look to land as a backup running back elsewhere ahead of the regular season.

Back in action Scott (leg) carried the ball 11 times for 32 yards in Saturday's preseason finale against the Texans.

Impact Scott picked up a leg contusion in last week's exhibition win over the Chargers, but he wound up missing no game time to the minor setback. The veteran backup has rushed for 155 yards on 37 carries in three games this preseason. Scott is looking to make the team as a depth option behind starter Kyren Williams this upcoming season.

Five Takeaways from Rams' 17-15 preseason loss to Texans: Lots of action for Dresser Winn, Zach Evans and Boston Scott, plus clarity on other players' roles Here are five things that stood out from the Rams' 2024 preseason finale against the Texans in Houston.

AUGUST 24, 2024 • THERAMS.COM

Dealing with minor leg injury Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Thursday that Scott is dealing with a "little bit of a leg contusion," Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Impact The injury doesn't appear to be serious, with McVay relaying that Scott is set to receive "a big workload" in Saturday's preseason finale against Houston. Scott signed a one-year contract with the Rams in April after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Eagles. The 2018 sixth-round pick is currently pencilled in as the Rams' fourth running back on the depth chart behind Kyren Williams, rookie Blake Corum an Ronnie Rivers.

AUGUST 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Strong showing in preseason win Scott took 10 carries for 55 yards in Saturday's preseason tilt against the Chargers.

Impact Scott was the second back to receive a touch behind Zack Evans (16-62-0), but both backs were mixed in early in Saturday's exhibition win. The Rams are holding out the dynamic backs sitting atop the RB depth chart along with Ronnie Rivers this preseason, which is why Scott and Evans have been getting so much run. The long-time Eagle could find himself in a similar backup/special teams role this season, assuming he makes the 53-man roster with his new club.

Big workload in preseason opener Scott carried the ball 15 times for 68 yards and caught all three of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 13-12 preseason win over the Cowboys. He also returned one kickoff for 23...

Impact The veteran running back got the start for the Rams and played through the third quarter, leading the team in rushing in the process. Scott's big workload came with Kyren Williams, rookie Blake Corum and even Ronnie Rivers sitting out, however, suggesting that the former Eagle isn't headed for a significant role in the Rams backfield this season barring a rash of injuries.

Rams sign RB Boston Scott to 1-year deal The Los Angeles Rams have signed former Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott to a 1-year deal.

MAY 1, 2024 • THERAMS.COM

Role shrinks in sixth season Scott didn't play a very important role for the Eagles this season, finishing with 20 carries for 86 yards and adding four catches for 52 yards through the air.

Impact Scott hasn't been a major part of the Eagles' offense at any point in his six-year career, but he'd managed to run for at least 217 yards in each of the previous four years, so his latest numbers represent a big step back. He also failed to reach the end zone for the first time since his two-game debut back in 2018. It's hard to envision the Eagles suddenly deciding to feature him more often next season.

JANUARY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Non-factor against Cardinals Scott didn't play a single offensive snap in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Scott hasn't been a significant part of the Eagles' offensive game plan at any point this season, but he's typically at least been on the field from time to time. Week 17's loss marked the fourth time this season that Scott's only snaps came on special teams.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays just one offensive snap Scott caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's 38-31 win against Washington.

Impact Scott missed Week 3 with a concussion and has since been on the field for a grand total of six offensive snaps in the last five games, including just one against the Commanders. In a sense, the fact that he received a touch on 100 percent of the snaps he played in Week 8 is an impressive figure, but it's not a performance which will have helped many fantasy teams. Scott needs at least one injury ahead of him on the depth chart if he's to play enough to have real fantasy relevance.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns small offensive role Scott saw the field for five offensive snaps in Sunday's 20-14 loss to the Jets, carrying the ball twice for two yards and catching one pass for 14 yards.

Impact Scott wasn't a significant part of Philadelphia's offensive game plan, but it was at least a step in the right direction after he missed Week 3 with a concussion and spent Weeks 4 and 5 limited to special-teams duty. He likely needs at least one injury ahead of him on the running-back depth chart for him to step into a fantasy-relevant role.
