Milton appeared in four games for the Cowboys in 2025, completing 15 of 24 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions. He added 50 rushing yards on five carries and lost a fumble.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year quarterback saw his most extensive action in Week 18, but Milton didn't make a single start as Dak Prescott stayed healthy for the entire season. Milton's athletic upside remains intriguing, but he's still very raw as a passer and is stuck behind the highest-paid QB in the entire NFL, giving him little fantasy appeal heading into next season other than as an insurance policy for Prescott.

Milton completed three of four passes for 58 yards and a touchdown in relief of Dak Prescott during Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

With the game well out of reach, Milton took over for the Cowboys' final two drives of the game and punctuated the first by launching a perfect deep ball to Jalen Tolbert for a 35-yard TD. It was Milton's second late-game appearance of the season, but it likely won't be the last even if Prescott stays healthy given the state of the Dallas roster, as the combination of an elite offense and abysmal defense is a recipe for blowouts.

Milton completed three of five passes for 41 yards and an interception in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year QB saw his first regular-season action with the Cowboys, handling the final drive in the fourth quarter and guiding the team down the field into the red zone for a potential score until he overthrew KaVontae Turpin in the end zone for an INT. Milton will only come off the bench in garbage time unless something happens to Dak Prescott, but if he were to get a start, his big arm and mobility could give him some fantasy appeal even if his lack of polish would make him extremely volatile.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

Milton started the game and played well into the fourth quarter as he tried to secure the backup job behind Dak Prescott. Things didn't go all that well for him, 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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 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.

EDGE Analysis

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. The second-year quarterback completed completed 17 of 29 passes for 143 yards, one touchdown and one interception versus Los Angeles before being replaced by Will Grier, while also rushing five times for 22 yards.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
