Pats’ Scott To Miss Upcoming Season

Defensive back Chad Scott will miss the 2007 season due to a knee injury.  The Patriots placed the 10-year player on the injured reserve list Monday.  Scott joined the Pats prior to the 2005 season after spending eight years in Pittsburgh.  In 2006, he started nine of the 14 regular-season contests he appeared in.  Over the season, he had 44 tackles, two picks, five passes defensed and a career-high seven special teams stops.  In his first year in New England, he played in three of the team’s first four games before a shoulder injury forced him on IR.
