Overview

• Schottenheimer confirmed Milton will open the finale against the Falcons, emphasizing a need to “find out more” rather than declaring a No. 2.
• Milton’s latest outing versus the Ravens ended 9-of-18 for 122 yards with an interception and a sack for a safety, which the coach said was not solely on the quarterback.
• Dallas has not named a backup behind Prescott, with Schottenheimer saying he does not have to decide yet and stressing patience with Milton’s development.
• Prescott will not play in the preseason, and Micah Parsons signaled the value of preseason reps in a post that appeared to reference the decision.
• Former Dallas backup Cooper Rush outperformed Milton for Baltimore (20-of-30, 198 yards, one TD in a 31-13 win), while in-house option Will Grier remains in the mix and outside veteran help is being discussed if needed.
