Cowboys QB Competition Tight

The Dallas Cowboys have yet to settle on a backup quarterback, with head coach Brian Schottenheimer describing the competition as "neck and neck" between Sam Howell and Joe Milton. Howell started the first preseason game while Milton played the second half, and they switched roles against the Cardinals last Saturday. somethingsdifferent.biz

Schottenheimer noted that Milton has "performed beautifully in both games" while Howell has "made a lot of plays too." The Cowboys prefer not to use either quarterback for meaningful snaps in the regular season, but with Dak Prescott's injury history, the backup role could be crucial. The competition will be a focal point before the August 30 cut to 53 players.
