BOSTON SCOTT NEWS

Carries ball six times Scott rushed for 16 yards on a season-high six carries in Sunday's win over the Cowboys.

Impact 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.

Ready to roll Scott (ribs) isn't listed on the Week 6 injury report ahead of a matchup with the Cowboys on Sunday.

Impact 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-Cardinals inactives: Boston Scott's availability determined; 2 rookies active for 1st time The Eagles will have two rookies suit up for the first time this season against the Arizona Cardinals.

OCTOBER 9, 2022 • NJ.COM

Inactive Sunday Scott (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Sage Hurley of the Eagles' official site reports.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to face Cardinals Scott (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Arizona.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs another limited session Scott (rib) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Scott (ribs) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.

Impact This seemingly gives Scott at least 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 is possible he gets somewhat more involved if Scott misses another game.

Won't suit up Sunday Scott (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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 'probably out' Sunday | Who could replace him vs. Jaguars? Eagles running back Boston Scott is dealing with a rib injury and likely will not play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • NJ.COM

Unlikely to play Sunday 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.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Another DNP on Thursday Scott (rib) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Scott is a distant third in terms of offensive snaps (36) behind Miles Sanders (112) and Kenneth Gainwell (60) through three games. While Scott has nearly matched Gainwell in touches, 11-13, the former now is in danger of sitting out Week 4 entirely. Scott at least has Friday's practice to make his presence felt, but if he's inactive Sunday against the Jaguars, Trey Sermon likely will be available as the Eagles' third running back.

No practice Wednesday Scott (ribs) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Scott played a season-low seven snaps during the team's Week 3 win over Washington, and he presumably picked up a rib injury as well. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but his potential absence wouldn't make too much of an impact, as Kenneth Gainwell has solidified himself as the top backup behind Miles Sanders.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Barely used in Week 3 Scott carried the ball twice for zero yards in Sunday's win against Washington.

Impact Scott wasn't a significant part of the game plan Week 3, seeing the field for just seven offensive snaps. Kenneth Gainwell received 22 snaps and would be the running back to pick up if Miles Sanders gets injured.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Receives five touches Scott rushed four times for 19 yards and caught his lone target for two more yards in Monday's win over Minnesota.

Impact Scott and Kenneth Gainwell split backup running back duties in Week 2, with Gainwell getting the edge in snaps (19 to 15) and Scott getting the edge in touches (five to three). That marks a change from Week 1, when Scott seemed clearly like the No. 3 back. Even if Scott and Gainwell were combined into one player, they'd be averaging a mere 40.5 yards per game on 10.5 touches, so neither will have much fantasy value as long as Miles Sanders remains healthy.

Finds end zone Sunday Scott rushed 10 times for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-20 preseason win over the Browns. He also caught his only target for 11 yards.

Impact Scott returned this week from a concussion and started ahead of Kenneth Gainwell, while usual top running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) sat out. After capping Philadelphia's opening drive with a one-yard touchdown, Scott subsequently saw Gainwell carry 11 times for 46 yards and a score on the Eagles' next series. With both Scott and Gainwell finding pay dirt, the team's depth at running back clearly was on display Sunday, and both players should factor into the first-team rotation even when Sanders is available during the regular season.

Returns from concussion Scott (concussion) has returned to practice, Ed Kracz of Eagles Today reports.

Impact Scott entered the concussion protocol after a hard hit in practice Aug. 4. He's been with the team for years and shouldn't lose any ground because of it, though Scott's role may be a small one when Miles Sanders (hamstring) and Kenneth Gainwell both are healthy.

Suffers concussion Scott will not practice Saturday after suffering a concussion Thursday, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact The versatile back evidently suffered a concussion from a big hit during Thursday's practice and will thus miss some time. Expect the likes of Jason Huntley and Kennedy Brooks to see more practice time so long as Scott is unable to play.
