The New Orleans Saints made a surprise move on Wednesday when they waived rookie running back Boston Scott, but it looks like Scott could return to the team soon.
Scott, the team's sixth-round pick, cleared waivers on Thursday and is planning to join the Saints practice squad, according to a league source.
Scott had interest from other teams to join their practice squads, according to the source, but the Zachary native and Louisiana Tech product plans to stick with the team that drafted him.
The Saints currently have just two running backs on their 53-man roster, Alvin Kamara and Mike Gillislee, but they could promote someone from the practice squad before Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, though it's unclear if it would be Jonathan Williams, Dwayne Washington or Scott.
