CINCINNATI — Bengals running back Zack Moss is expected to go on injured reserve this week with a neck injury. Could veteran Boston Scott help fill the void in the backfield?

Scott is "fully healthy" according to Jordan Schultz. The 29-year-old suffered a partially torn meniscus before the start of the 2024 season.

He has appeared in 75 regular season games, is a quality pass catcher out of the backfield and is a solid runner between the tackles. Scott has averaged 4.3 yards-per-carry in his six year career.

He's a smaller back at 5-6, 204 pounds, but he's quick and a willing pass blocker.

If the Bengals don't trade for a running back ahead if Tuesday's deadline, then adding a proven player like Scott could make a ton of sense.

Schultz is reporting that Scott already has a workout scheduled with the Saints.
