Boston Scott Shows Up With A Week 7 Touchdown
3 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott showed up on offense in Week 7 and scored a touchdown, his first of the season. Starting running back Miles Sanders (ankle) was forced to leave with an injury, leaving backfield duties to rookie Kenneth Gainwell and Scott. Scott had been playing exclusively on special teams this season, but he ran the ball seven times in this game, gaining 24 yards and scoring a touchdown. His score came on a one-yard plunge at the end of the third quarter. If Sanders is forced to miss time, Scott will likely find his way into a role on offense and could see the majority of carries in the backfield, if the rest of Sunday's game was any indication.
