As the Dallas Cowboys finalize their roster for the upcoming NFL season, quarterback Joe Milton will remain on the practice squad. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer shared his excitement about Milton's return, noting he is thrilled to have him back.
Milton was selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. Although he only appeared in one regular-season game with the Patriots, his strong arm during the preseason garnered attention from fans and coaches alike. In April 2025, he was traded to the Cowboys, where he gained experience by participating in four games without a starting role.
After being waived at the end of August, Milton chose to rejoin the Cowboys' practice squad, reflecting his contentment with the team's trajectory. Schottenheimer and the coaching staff are optimistic about Milton's development as he continues to grow in his role.
The Cowboys are scheduled to begin their 2026 season on September 13, facing off against the New York Giants, with quarterback Jaxson Dart leading the charge.
