Coaches are weighing Joe Milton reps against protecting Dak Prescott in a no-stakes finale.

Overview

  • Dak Prescott will open at quarterback against the Giants, with no firm commitment on how long he plays.
  • Team expectations point to backup Joe Milton getting on the field, though the timing and volume of his snaps are unresolved.
  • Prescott said his preparation does not change and he plans to play the whole game while being smart about his approach.
  • With no playoff implications, Dallas has latitude to balance evaluating the backup with safeguarding its starter.
