The move comes as Chase Brown is dealing with an injury.
The Cincinnati Bengals have signed running back Kendall Milton off the practice squad to the active roster, the team announced on Thursday.
Milton, an undrafted rookie from the Georgia Bulldogs, has played in one game and spent 13 games on Cincinnati’s practice squad.
As a senior in the 2023 college football season, Milton ran for 790 yards and 14 touchdowns. He finished his Georgia career with 1,837 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns.
This move comes as starting running back Chase Brown is highly questionable to play in Saturday’s contest vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brown suffered an ankle injury at the end of regulation in last Saturday’s overtime win over the Denver Broncos.
Brown has yet to practice this week, so there’s a good chance he’ll be out this week, leaving Khalil Herbert to be the starter, while Milton and Trayveon Williams will be the backups.
