Daily News | Eagles bring back running back Boston Scott, safety Anthony Harris on one-year deals
The Eagles have agreed to terms with running back Boston Scott and safety Anthony Harris on one-year deals, a league source confirmed to The Inquirer on Friday.
Scott, 26, who was originally signed off the Saints practice squad by the Eagles in December 2018, appeared behind starter Miles Sanders, but he was productive as the team shifted to a run-first approach. Scott played in 16 regular season games, including four starts, and finished with 373 rushing yards on 87 carries with a team-best seven rushing touchdowns.
Harris is set to return for his second season with the Eagles after starting in 14 games in 2021. He tallied 72 tackles, three passes defensed, and one interception. According to league sources, the Eagles have been active in scouring for safety help in free agency throughout the week, but they’ve yet to make a splash at the position. Bringing back Harris on a short-term deal provides continuity, but the team could still benefit from an outside upgrade. Gannon’s scheme often implements zone coverage with two deep safeties.
