Overview

• Milton closed the preseason by going 10-of-18 for 132 yards with a touchdown to Jalen Brooks and added a rushing score in a 31-13 win over Atlanta.
• Schottenheimer praised Milton for looking comfortable, using his legs, and showing improved touch on the 29-yard TD throw to Brooks.
• Milton was pulled before the third quarter ended, a move multiple outlets read as a sign the staff had seen enough to be confident in him.
• ESPN’s Todd Archer projects Dallas will keep only Dak Prescott and Milton on the active roster, with veteran Will Grier likely managed via a practice-squad arrangement.
• Dallas traded a fifth-round pick to New England in April for Milton, whose preseason was uneven overall but ended on a note that eased accuracy and touch concerns.
