The Los Angeles Rams bolstered their backfield on Tuesday, securing a one-year deal with former Eagles running back Boston Scott, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
Scott, who spent the last six seasons in Philadelphia, brings a wealth of experience to the Rams, having appeared in 75 games and making 12 starts.
He joins a talented Rams running back corps, featuring breakout star Kyren Williams and third-round pick Blake Corum.
Having showcased himself as a versatile change-of-pace back for the Eagles since his debut in 2019, Scott, though not a primary ball carrier in Philly, made significant contributions to the team’s offensive schemes. Over his tenure, the 29-year-old accumulated 1,295 yards on 302 carries, tallying 17 total touchdowns.
The addition of Scott addresses a depth concern for the Rams at the running back position, a move orchestrated by the collaborative efforts of General Manager Les Snead and Head Coach Sean McVay.
Following last week’s NFL Draft, McVay expressed optimism about the team’s offseason acquisitions, citing a positive outlook on the talent being assembled.
“It’s all projections, but there was a resume and a body of work that all 10 of these players had, that there was a consensus, there was a consistent and really unanimous good vibes and feel from both his [Snead’s] group, from our coaching staff and ultimately our organization,” McVay elaborated via the team’s website.
The Los Angeles Rams concluded the previous regular season with a 10-7 record, falling short in the Wild Card round to the Detroit Lions by a narrow margin.
