Eagles plan to sign rookie RB Boston Scott from Saints practice squad

Another member of the 2018 New Orleans Saints draft class may be on the move, per multiple reports. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport had it first.

The Saints drafted Scott out of nearby Louisiana Tech, where he started for several years. Scott did not make the Saints’ opening day roster, signing with their practice squad once the regular season began. He was one of several late-round draft picks to not make the cut, along with defensive backs Natrell Jamerson and Kamrin Moore, and offensive lineman Rick Leonard.

Scott joins an Eagles team thin at running back after the starter, Jay Ajayi, was lost to injury earlier in the year.
