The Philadelphia Eagles are having depth issues at the running back position and could promote a player off the practice squad on Friday. Doug Pederson addressed the media on Friday and made it clear that the Birds could make a move with Corey Clement and Darren Sproles both dealing with injuries.
“We’re going to take a look at that today and this week,” Pederson said. “We obviously have Boston Scott on the practice squad, so that’s a possibility for us.”
Clement (shoulder) hasn’t practiced this week after playing in the Eagles win over the Jets. Darren Sproles (quadriceps), has been out, leaving the Eagles with only two healthy running backs on their 53-man roster in Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders. Veteran running back Boston Scott is on the practice squad and could get the call due to his ability in the punt return game.
