Indianapolis signed Scott to the practice squad Thursday, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scott, a 2023 fourth-round pick, had spent his entire NFL career to date in Chicago before being waived by the team Tuesday. He suited up for 28 regular-season games with the Bears over the last two years, over which span he totaled 18 catches for 173 yards. Scott is still looking to score his first-regular season touchdown and will work to establish himself as a reserve option for the Colts.

The Bears waived Scott on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scott was a fourth-round pick by the Bears in the 2023 Draft and appeared in 28 regular-season games across his first two seasons, catching 18 passes for 173 scoreless yards. He accrued a 7-99-1 receiving line this preseason but will look for an opportunity elsewhere.

Scott caught three passes for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 38-0 preseason win over the Bills on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Scott worked with the reserves, leading the team in receiving yards. However, after just 20 snaps in 2024 and added receiver competition, he's likely battling for a roster spot instead of a rotation role.

Scott didn't play an offensive snap in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

As a rookie in 2023, Scott caught 17 passes for 168 yards, but after the Bears added Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze in the offseason, Scott never played more than four snaps in a game. The receiver hauled in his only target of the season for five yards in Week 15. Scott just completed the second year of his four-year rookie deal, but he faces an uphill battle in terms of becoming a major part of the Chicago offense.

Scott caught a five-yard pass in the Bears' 30-12 loss to the Vikings on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Scott caught 17 passes for 168 yards as a rookie in 2023, but this year, the receiver has not played more than six percent of the snaps in any game. Against Minnesota, Scott hauled in a pass from backup quarterback Tyson Bagent when the backups were on the field. Expect Scott to remain quiet unless any of the Chicago receivers miss time.

Scott (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Scott has played just two offensive snaps over his last two regular-season outings, and he'll be a healthy inactive for Sunday's contest. His next chance to play will be Week 13 against the Lions on Thursday, Nov. 28.

Scott (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

The 2023 fourth-round pick secured the Bears' fourth receiver spot after catching six passes for 99 yards and returning two kickoffs for 49 yards in the team's final preseason game. That said, he remains behind DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze on the depth chart. Scott caught 17 passes for 168 yards and no scores as a rookie.

Scott secured six of nine targets for 99 yards, rushed once for 17 yards and returned two kickoffs for 49 yards in the Bears' 34-21 preseason win over the Chiefs on Thursday night.

EDGE Analysis

Scott took advantage of the expanded opportunity afforded by the fact the Bears' top three wideouts sat out, posting team-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals. The 2023 fourth-round pick still projects to open the season as no better than the No. 4 receiver behind DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze, but his game-breaking speed will still make him an intriguing deep-league asset, especially if he also gets opportunities to work as a returner as he did Thursday.

With the addition of Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze to Chicago's wide receiver room, Scott is likely to begin the season as the No. 4 receiver.

EDGE Analysis

Although Scott posted just 168 yards on 17 catches as a rookie, he was on the field for at least 37 snaps in six games beginning in Week 6. After being used often in three receiver sets, it's unlikely that Scott will be used in that role often with DJ Moore, Allen and Odunze on the roster.

Scott caught one pass for 12 yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Scott played on at least 40 percent of the snaps in eight of his last 12 games, and he gained valuable experience that he'll need to make a push up the depth chart in 2024. The rookie finished the season with 17 catches and 168 yards along with seven rushes for another 41 yards. Scott is signed through the 2026 season.
