  • Cowboys' Joe Milton: Produces two TDs against Falcons

    Milton completed 10 of 18 passes for 132 yards and a touchdown and added 33 rushing yards and a TD on four carries in Friday's 31-13 preseason win over Atlanta.

    After two very shaky exhibition performances, Milton looked a little more polished Friday, producing Dallas' first points on a one-yard run in the first quarter and then ending his night with a 29-yard TD connection with Jalen Brooks in the third on a pass that required a little finesse to loft it over the defender. The Cowboys traded for Milton to be their new No. 2 quarterback behind Dak Prescott, and this showing may have done enough to reassure the team that the 2024 sixth-round pick is ready to handle the job.

  • Cowboys' Joe Milton: Another preseason start on deck

    Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that Milton will start Friday's preseason finale against Atlanta, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Schottenheimer said a decision between Milton and Will Grier as the top backup to Dak Prescott, who will rest for a third straight game Friday, hasn't yet been made, per Machota. The head coach also acknowledged Milton's inconsistent showing during Saturday's exhibition loss to Baltimore in which he completed nine of 18 passes for 122 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception, but he said that blame is owed to the entire offense, not just the quarterback, for failing to find a rhythm. In any case, it looks like the level of play Milton puts on tape during Friday's game will be crucial in determining his role to begin the 2025 regular season.

  • Cowboys' Joe Milton: Inconsistent showing in loss

    Milton completed nine of 18 passes for 122 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 31-13 preseason loss to the Ravens. He added three rushes for six yards.

    Milton started the game and played well into the fourth quarter as he tried to secure the backup job behind Dak Prescott. Matters didn't unfold very smoothly, as he took a sack in the end zone for a safety on Dallas' first possession, failed to lead a scoring drive in the first half and also threw an interception on an ill-advised attempt into double coverage. Milton did display his excellent arm strength with a 49-yard pass to Jonathan Mingo, but the performance was far too mistake-prone overall.

  • Cowboys' Joe Milton: Heavy workload expected Saturday

    Milton will likely play the majority of Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    The Cowboys are still trying to get Milton ready to be Dak Prescott's top backup, whereas No. 3 QB Will Grier is more of a known quantity. Prior to leaving the preseason opener against the Rams with a minor elbow issue, Milton completed 17 of 29 passes for 143 yards, one touchdown and one interception, while adding 22 rushing yards on five carries.

  • Cowboys' Joe Milton: Will start Saturday

    Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Thursday that Milton (elbow) will start Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Milton was pulled from Dallas' preseason opener against the Rams last weekend early due to an elbow injury, but he's recovered quickly enough that he won't have to miss any exhibition action.

  • Cowboys' Joe Milton: Slated to start Saturday

    Milton is in line to start Saturday's preseason opener against the Rams, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    It's not surprising that the Cowboys are inclined to play it safe with starter Dak Prescott, a scenario that will allow the team to evaluate fellow QBs Milton and Will Grier. This will mark Milton's game debut with Dallas after coming over in an offseason trade with the Patriots.

  • Cowboys' Joe Milton: Departs Saturday with elbow injury

    Milton was pulled from Saturday's preseason game against the Rams due to an elbow injury, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Dak Prescott didn't play Saturday, so the Cowboys gave Milton the start. The second-year QB completed 17 of 29 passes for 143 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding five carries for 22 yards on the ground. Milton was eventually replaced by Will Grier in the middle of a fourth-quarter drive, and it appears an elbow injury was the reason for the switch. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said after the contest that Milton bruised his elbow and will get more tests, but Schottenheimer added that he expects the QB to be fine, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com.

  • Cowboys' Joe Milton: Resumes practicing

  • Cowboys' Joe Milton: Dealing with hand injury

    Milton did not finish Tuesday's joint practice with the Rams due to a hand injury, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Milton appeared to bang his throwing hand off a defender's helmet during practice, which prompted him to be sidelined for the rest of the day while Will Grier worked with the second-team offense. It's unclear how severe Milton's hand injury is, but it does put him in jeopardy of missing more practices this week, and potentially Saturday's preseason opener against the Rams.

  • Cowboys' Joe Milton: Bothered by thumb issue

    Milton was removed from joint practice Tuesday due to a right thumb injury, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

  • Cowboys' Joe Milton: Will get plenty of reps in camp

    Milton is expected to see plenty of reps with the first-team offense during training camp as the Cowboys limit Dak Prescott's workload, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Prescott's 2024 campaign ended after Week 9 due to a torn hamstring that required surgery, and while the quarterback has declared himself fully healthy to begin camp, Dallas isn't taking any chances with him. Milton, a sixth-round pick of the Patriots in 2024 who was acquired in an April trade, is still something of a project, but the Cowboys are counting on him to be the No. 2 QB this season, so the more work he can get in camp, the better.
