The Los Angeles Rams are gearing up for another playoff run after a resurgence in 2023. With the 2024 NFL season approaching, the team is finalizing its 53-man roster. However, a surprising move has caught the attention of fans and analysts alike—veteran running back Boston Scott was released despite a solid preseason performance.
Scott, who joined the Rams after being signed post-draft, showcased his abilities during the preseason, logging 157 rushing yards on 36 carries. Despite this strong showing, the Rams decided to part ways with the former Philadelphia Eagles back, leaving many wondering about the reasoning behind the decision.

The move leaves Los Angeles with three running backs on their roster and opens the door for other teams to potentially acquire Scott. His release has sparked speculation about where the versatile back may land next. Some believe a reunion with the Eagles is possible, while others think teams like the Dallas Cowboys or Cincinnati Bengals, both in need of running back depth, could be likely destinations.
Since entering the league in 2018, Scott has accumulated 1,295 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns, along with 71 receptions for 566 yards. A reliable contributor during his time in Philadelphia, Scott now finds himself on the market, but his experience and productivity suggest he won’t stay unsigned for long.
With teams finalizing their rosters, where will Boston Scott end up before the 2024 season kicks off? Fans and analysts alike will be keeping a close eye on his next move.
