As the Dallas Cowboys gear up for the 2026 NFL season, they have confirmed the retention of quarterback Joe Milton on their practice squad. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer expressed his excitement about Milton's return, stating he is "elated" to have him back, as reported by The Athletic's Jon Machota.
Milton, who was selected in the sixth round of the 2024 draft by the New England Patriots, demonstrated his strong arm during preseason games. Although he only appeared in one regular-season game with the Patriots, his potential was noted by both fans and coaches. In April 2025, he was traded to the Cowboys, where he gained experience by participating in four games without a start.
After being waived at the end of August, Milton chose to rejoin the Cowboys' practice squad, reflecting his contentment with the team's trajectory. The coaching staff is optimistic about Milton's development as he continues to grow in his role. The Cowboys are scheduled to begin their 2026 season on September 13 against the New York Giants, with quarterback Jaxson Dart leading the team.
