The Dallas Cowboys have announced the signing of quarterback Joe Milton to their practice squad after he was released earlier this week. Milton was initially cut from the team as the Cowboys opted to keep Sam Howell as the backup quarterback behind Dak Prescott for the 2026 season.
Milton became a free agent after going unclaimed on waivers. His return to the Cowboys marks a significant shift for him, as he had been vying for the backup role alongside Howell. Howell expressed his commitment to the team, stating, "The job doesn't stop now" and emphasized his dedication to helping the Cowboys succeed.
In addition to Milton's signing, the Cowboys have also made moves to strengthen their roster by adding running back Emari Demercado off waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs. His former coach, Andy Reid, praised Demercado's abilities, noting his skills in pass protection and his effective running style.
The Cowboys also saw Camden Brown make the final roster, and his reaction to the news was notably unconventional, as he learned about his selection through social media. This unique method of receiving such important news has drawn attention, highlighting the modern ways players are informed about their status.
Quinnen Williams, entering his second season with the Cowboys, commented on the positive changes within the team, particularly on the defensive side, describing the growth as "night and day" compared to the previous year. He attributed this improvement to the team's mindset and coaching approach.
