The Dallas Cowboys announced the signing of quarterback Joe Milton to their practice squad on Wednesday, following his release earlier in the week. Milton was initially waived after the Cowboys decided to retain Sam Howell as the backup quarterback behind Dak Prescott for the 2026 season.
Milton became a free agent after going unclaimed on waivers, allowing him to rejoin the Cowboys organization. Howell expressed his commitment to the team, stating, "The job doesn't stop now," emphasizing his determination to maintain his position and contribute to the team's success.
In addition to Milton's return, the Cowboys made other roster moves, including the addition of running back Emari Demercado, who was signed off waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs. His former coach, Andy Reid, praised Demercado's skills, particularly in pass protection and his ability to find running lanes.
Camden Brown also made the Cowboys' final roster, a development he learned about in an unconventional manner through social media. Brown has garnered attention as a fan favorite during training camp and the preseason.
Quinnen Williams, entering his second season with the Cowboys, noted a significant improvement in the team's culture and defensive performance, describing the changes as "night and day" compared to the previous year. He attributed this progress to the coaching staff and the competitive environment created during training sessions.
