Milton signed a one-year deal with the Bengals on Friday, the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Milton, who spent the majority of the past two seasons on Cincinnati's practice squad, will thus have an opportunity to compete for a depth slot in the team's backfield ahead of the 2026 campaign. In his only regular-season appearance in 2025, Milton, who played his college ball at Georgia, logged two carries for two yards.

Milton reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Milton was brought up to the Bengals' active roster to provide backfield depth due to the absence of Samaje Perine (ankle). Milton operated as the RB3 behind Chase Brown and Tahj Brooks, and Milton finished with two carries for two yards while playing four snaps on offense. Milton could be elevated for the Bengals' Week 12 home clash against the Patriots if Perine is not cleared to play.
