Milton gets first career start vs. Giants after three weeks with Eagles.

Joe Milton is being promoted to starting quarterback for Week 9 against the Giants, his first career start. Milton was signed to the Eagles' 53-man roster off the Cowboys' practice squad on Oct. 16 and supplanted Cole Payton as backup within a week; he is now the starter just three weeks after joining the team. Head coach Nick Sirianni praised Milton's work ethic and progression: 'I think he's worked really hard. Him and Parks Frazier have spent a ton of time together, getting him caught up to speed. I know the developmental periods, those always help to be able to run our plays. But he works extremely hard. He is always in the building, doing the extra things. I like his progression.' The Eagles are hoping Milton's mobility and arm talent will provide more production than Tanner McKee has delivered over the last three games.
