Eagles ink a rookie running back

Posted by Mike Florio on June 2, 2010 9:55 AM ET
At a time when Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports has flagged the Eagles as having the worst complement of running backs in the league, they've added another.

The team announced this morning that Charles Scott, a sixth-round draft pick, has agreed to terms.

Scott played college football at LSU. He joins a depth chart that includes LeSean McCoy, Mike Bell, Eldra Buckley, Keithon Flemming, and Martrell Mallett.

Despite the collection of hard-to-recognize names (apart from McCoy and Bell), the reality is that plenty of guys can move the chains, if the team can provide competent blocking.

Having a passing game that keeps safeties out of the box doesn't hurt, either.
