Scott joins the Eagles after spending the first half of the season on the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad where he didn't see any playing time.

Prior to heading to Pittsburgh, the former 2020 fourth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars had spent the past two seasons in Philly, logging 38 tackles, two interceptions, eight passes defensed and a sack through 29 games (four starts).

He rejoins the Eagles during a time of need with several members of the team's secondary battling injuries , including cornerback Darius Slay, Bradley Roby and Eli Ricks.
