Milton Back on Practice Squad | Dallas Cowboys News

Dallas Cowboys bring back QB Joe Milton to the practice squad after waiving him just before roster deadlines, a move that’s sparked debate. Milton impressed in preseason with nearly 400 yards and multiple TDs—no picks—and even scored on a rush. Though many expected him to claim the No. 2 QB spot behind Dak Prescott, Sam Howell landed the backup role based on his overall offseason performance. The Cowboys’ move appears strategic: keeping Milton around without taking up an active roster spot, while also avoiding potential buzz if Prescott falters. Former receiver Chad Johnson suggests it’s about managing hype, but the team says it’s purely about roster construction and needing extra depth. Milton remains in Dallas, learning the system and ready for action if called upon. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
