Former MSU CB Josiah Scott has been signed to the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad

Josiah Scott, a former Michigan State cornerback who had a solid collegiate career, has made himself a nice career in the NFL. Scott has spent four seasons between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles giving solid production.

The Eagles cut Josiah Scott a few days ago but then signed him to their practice squad in order to keep another Spartan, Ben VanSumeren, to the active roster.

Eagles waive CB Josiah Scott, freeing up a spot on the 53-man roster

The Philadelphia Eagles waived cornerback Josiah Scott and now have an open spot on the 53-man roster

The Eagles have an open roster spot after waiving cornerback Josiah Scott, and the team could be set to make several different moves.

Scott played four games this season, logging one solo tackle on 17 snaps, but he was inactive for Sunday’s overtime win over the Bills.

Philadelphia has already elevated undrafted rookie linebacker Ben VanSumeren three times for special teams purposes, so the team would need to give him a spot on the 53 to keep using him.

Free agent linebacker Shaquille Leonard is meeting with the team on Wednesday, and the roster spot could be used for him if he agrees to a deal.

The Eagles signed the cornerback to the active roster from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad on October 18, 2023.

Scott played in 29 games with the Eagles, making four starts, logging 38 tackles, eight pass deflections, two interceptions, and one sack.

Eagles sign CB Josiah Scott from the Steelers practice squad to their active roster

The Philadelphia #Eagles are signing CB Josiah Scott from the Steelers practice squad to their active roster ahead of ee

The Eagles are banged up at the slot cornerback spot, and with Bradley Roby likely to miss time, the team is signing cornerback Josiah Scott off the Steelers practice squad to their active roster.

He had his most productive season in the NFL in 2022 but was a 53-man roster cut during the summer, with Philadelphia choosing to roll with Zech McPhearson and Mario Goodrich.

Scott was cut by the Eagles and joined the Steelers practice squad.

Scott started his career with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who picked him in the fourth round of the 2020 draft, and he’ll now give DC Sean Desai some experience in the slot ahead of a matchup against the Dolphins.

Taking an early look at the Eagles’ 2024 free agents

We’re taking an early look at 34 Philadelphia Eagles players that will be entering the final year of their contract during the 2023 NFL season

Philadelphia saw a mass exodus of talent during the initial wave of free agency, but Howie Roseman was able to offset the deficit with talent already on the roster.

Then the NFL’s top GM signed Rashaad Penny and Terrell Edmunds before drafting Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith with the team’s two first-round picks.

The Eagles have yet to play a regular-season game in 2023, but it’s never too soon for an early look at the key players entering the final year of their contracts.

PFF: Eagles’ biggest offseason need is depth at the cornerback position

PFF recently looked at the biggest offseason need for all 32 NFL teams and depth at cornerback was the biggest need for the Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles and 31 other teams around the league are diligently prepping for the NFL draft, and before that, NFL free agency.

Howie Roseman’s club has 18 pending free agents, and an All-Pro quarterback looking for a contract extension after finally earning franchise signal-caller status.

Philadelphia will have several needs entering the 2023 NFL season, but PFF believes cornerback depth is currently the most pressing concern.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: CORNERBACK DEPTH
Signing James Bradberry for pennies on the dollar was one of the shrewdest moves the Eagles made last offseason. They were able to snare another team’s cap casualty and bring in an impact player for a bargain price.

They could tie Bradberry to a much more lucrative contract, but if they value his low cost, cornerback becomes an area of need. Bradberry allowed just 46.8% of the passes thrown into his coverage to be caught this season for a passer rating of 51.4.

Philadelphia still has Darius Slay under contract, along with Avonte Maddox as starters heading into the offseason and free agency.

The Eagles also have Mario Goodrich, Josh Jobe, Zech McPhearson, and Josiah Scott on the current roster.

But when the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles meet in Glendale, Ariz. on Sunday, there will be a few familiar faces on the field.
