Scott, who was signed to the Eagles practiced then waived during final roster cuts on August 31st, was re-signed to the practice squad the next day and promoted to the active roster on October 11th. 

In last night's Eagles win, Scott had 10 carries for 59 yards and six catches for 69 yards, totaling 128 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. The comeback overtime Eagles victory is quickly being dubbed "The Boston Scott Game."

This move Scott put on Giants CB Janoris Jenkins in the fourth quarter caught the attention of everyone.
