Milton passed through waivers unclaimed Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Milton completed 29 of 43 passes (67.4 percent) for 378 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions across three exhibition contests, with his passer rating of 118.2 leading the entire NFL during the preseason. Despite his impressive play against defensive reserves, the Cowboys opted to waive Milton on Monday and stick with Sam Howell as Dak Prescott's backup. Milton is free to sign elsewhere, whether it's to an active roster or a practice squad.
