Signed to active roster

ANALYSIS
Milton joined the Bengals' practice squad in late August after failing to make the Eagles' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Zack Moss is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders after missing Friday's practice with a neck injury, and if he is ruled out,Milton will step in and serve as the No. 3 running back behind Chase Brown and Trayveon Williams.

ANALYSIS
Milton failed to make the Eagles' initial 53-man roster Tuesday after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in May, but he's already found a new home in Cincinnati. The Georgia product rushed 121 times for 790 yards and 14 touchdowns across 13 games during his final collegiate season.

Cut by Philadelphia
Milton was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Milton signed with Eagles as an undrafted free agent in May, compiling 49 rushing yards and a touchdown on 15 carries while also adding 18 receiving yards on four receptions during the preseason. Although the running back didn't secure a spot on the initial 53-man roster, it's possible that he sticks around Philadelphia as a member of the team's practice squad.

Going to Philly
The Eagles signed Milton on Friday, Owen Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Being passed over in the draft could not stop Milton from becoming the latest installment in Philadelphia's love affair with former Georgia Bulldogs. He carries a frame that could sustain rushing volume at the next level, but he lacks top-end speed and is unproven as a pass-catcher.
