EDGE Analysis
Scott was acquired by the Eagles via trade this offseason to compete for a depth role in their secondary. As a rookie, the fourth-round pick recorded 11 tackles while playing 80 defensive snaps in six appearances for Jacksonville last season. The extent of the 22-year-old's injury is unknown, but if he misses too much time his spot on the roster is in jeopardy.

Scott (illness) was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2020 fourth-round pick had a quick stay on the reserve/COVID-19 list and is now ready to compete for playing time at slot corner. Veterans Rashaan Melvin and D.J. Hayden likely stand in the path for playing time.

The Jaguars placed Scott (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Scott could see opportunities to compete for slot reps when he's cleared to join teammates at training camp. His placement on the COVID-19 list doesn't necessarily mean that Scott has tested positive for the virus, as it also encompasses players who have come in to close contact with someone who has.

The Jaguars selected Scott in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 137th overall.
EDGE Analysis
The Michigan State product comes to Jacksonville after a strong three-year career in East Lansing. His size will ticket him for slot work at the next level as he's 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds, but he's a willing tackler with Spartan toughness. He had multiple interceptions in each of his three years at Michigan State and was a Freshman All-American in 2017. Jacksonville needed some slot help, so Scott should be able to provide some help there in 2020.
