Patriots could use Week 18 to showcase Joe Milton: ‘I'll be ready'

FOXBORO -- Joe Milton III did something he hadn't done all season on Wednesday, taking snaps with offensive starters in Patriots practice.

Just a few days away from the season finale against Buffalo, the team is preparing for him to potentially see some action. And he plans to be ready for it.

"It just felt like college," Milton said Thursday of the starting reps he saw. "It felt like college again. I felt like that little kid in the backyard just throwing the ball around. Obviously this is a real job now and we get paid for this, so obviously it wasn't high school or college, but at the same time, it felt good to get back out there and get those reps.
