The Steelers released Scott (undisclosed) from their practice squad with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Scott spent two weeks with Pittsburgh after he failed to earn a 53-man roster spot with the Rams out of training camp. The veteran running back will look for an opportunity elsewhere once healthy.

Boston Scott: Dealing with injury
Rotowire
Scott (undisclosed) was placed on the Steelers' practice squad injured list Wednesday.
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 miss, but his move to the injured list will force him to miss at least four weeks before he's eligible to return to practice.

Boston Scott: Goes to Pittsburgh's practice squad
Rotowire
The Steelers signed Scott to their practice squad Friday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
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 and 71 receptions for 566 yards and another touchdown over 75 regular-season games with Philadelphia covering six seasons.

Boston Scott: Let go by Rams
Rotowire
The Rams released Scott on Sunday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
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 the regular season. This should leave Ronnie Rivers and Zach Evans as the likely candidates to back up Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Scott should now look to land as a reserve running back elsewhere ahead of the regular season.

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

Rams' Boston Scott: Strong showing in preseason win
Rotowire
Scott took 10 carries for 55 yards in Saturday's preseason tilt against the Chargers.
Scott was the second back to receive a touch behind Zach 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.

Rams' Boston Scott: Big workload in preseason opener
Rotowire
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 yards.
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.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Role shrinks in sixth season
Rotowire
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 over 15 regular-season games.
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.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Three carries in season finale
Rotowire
Scott rushed three times for five yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Giants.
With D'Andre Swift out due to illness and the Eagles resting several starters in the second half, Scott was able to play 20 offensive snaps, doubling his season high. The result was another uneventful game for the sixth-year running back, and it's fair to wonder whether he has a future with the Eagles given that he received just 24 touches (20 carries and four receptions) all season.

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

Eagles' Boston Scott: Non-factor on offense
Rotowire
Scott played one snap on offense and 14 on special teams in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks.
Scott went without a touch on offense and returned a lone kickoff for 13 yards. He's now gone without a carry or catch on four occasions this season and hasn't played more than 10 snaps on offense in any of his 12 appearances.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Minor role again
Rotowire
Scott rushed three times for nine yards in Sunday's 33-13 loss to Dallas.
Scott got the ball on every single one of his offensive snaps, but that stat gets less impressive when his snap count sits at just three. Two of those three snaps came on the final two plays of the game, garbage-time runs up the middle with the Eagles down three scores.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Two carries in Week 12 win
Rotowire
Scott rushed twice for 14 yards and was targeted once with an incomplete pass in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over Buffalo.
The game went into overtime, but Scott saw the field for a total of just five offensive snaps, indicating that he remains a minor part of the Eagles' game plan. He's topped out at 10 offensive snaps in a game this season, and that came all the way back in Week 2.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Minimal involvement in Week 11
Rotowire
Scott rushed two times for eight yards in Monday's 21-17 win over the Chiefs.
Scott played a limited role against the Chiefs, playing just seven of the Eagles' 56 offensive snaps Monday. The veteran's two carries were his most since Week 6 after he failed to record a single rushing attempt in his last two appearances. Buried on the depth chart behind D'Andre Swift and Kenneth Gainwell, Scott should remain off the fantasy radar when the Eagles host the Bills in Week 12.

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

Eagles' Boston Scott: Earns small offensive role
Rotowire
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.
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.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Limited to special teams again
Rotowire
Scott was not deployed for a single offensive snap yet again in the Eagles' Week 5 win over the Rams.
Scott's last touch came back Week 2 against the Vikings, as a concussion kept him out for Week 3 before he was limited to special-teams work Weeks 4 and 5. Even if Scott finds his way back into the game plan at some point down the line, he's unlikely to fill a major role.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Zero offensive snaps in Week 4
Rotowire
Scott returned from a concussion for Week 4's overtime win against the Commanders, but his only snaps came on special teams.
Scott saw the field for the first time since he exited with a concussion in the third quarter against the Vikings in Week 2, but he wasn't part of the offensive game plan. D'Andre Swift and Kenneth Gainwell were the only Eagles to see the field at running back Week 4. It's not yet clear whether Scott's lack of offensive snaps will be a pattern that continues next week against the Rams, or if he was merely being ramped back up after his head injury.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Listed as full Wednesday
Rotowire
Scott (concussion) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
In the wake of the Eagles' Week 2 win versus the Vikings, Scott entered the concussion protocol. Prior to being ruled out for this past Monday's game at Tampa Bay, he managed just one limited practice. While he didn't have a cap on his reps at Wednesday's walk-through session, it's unclear if Scott has made his way through the aforementioned protocol.

Eagles' Boston Scott: Clears concussion protocol
Rotowire
Scott cleared concussion protocol and returned to practice Friday, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Scott is thus set to play Monday in Tampa Bay, getting some help from the extra rest period after Philly's win over Minnesota last Thursday night. Scott left that game early with a concussion, while D'Andre Swift dominated backfield work en route to 175 rushing yards and Rashaad Penny mixed in only occasionally. The big question this week is whether Week 1 lead back Kenneth Gainwell can return from the rib injury that held him out Week 2. If so, Scott likely will be marginalized and Swift's workload will be much tougher to project.
