Kendall Milton Signs With Eagles As UDFA

Friday, May 3, 4:35 PM

Former University of Georgia running back Kendall Milton signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent, according to NFL.com. Milton had a strong career at Georgia considering the team opted to use a committee approach, racking up 297 carries for 1,839 yards (6.2 YPC) and 23 touchdowns in 41 career games. Last season, he rushed for 790 yards and 14 touchdowns on just 121 attempts. However, he caught just 12 passes during his entire four-year collegiate career and struggled at the NFL combine, which are likely primary factors in him going unselected during the 2024 NFL Draft. He'll have a tough road ahead in trying to make the team's 53-man roster.

Israel Abanikanda A Healthy Scratch Against 49ers

Monday, September 9, 7:44 PM

New York Jets running back Israel Abanikanda is a healthy scratch for the team's Week 1 regular-season opener at Levi's Stadium on Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers. Abanikanda enters the 2024 season as the team's RB4 behind starter and bell-cow Breece Hall and rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. As such, the 21-year-old is obviously off the fantasy radar in most single-year leagues for the time being unless injuries push him into a relevant game-day role. The former fifth-round pick out of Pittsburgh last year was also buried on the depth chart in his rookie season and finished with 22 carries for 70 yards while catching seven passes for 43 yards in only six games. Abanikanda has breakaway speed but is once again buried on the depth chart and will have to wait for his opportunity beyond Week 1.
