Cowboys QB Battle Neck and Neck

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer described the Cowboys' backup QB competition as 'neck and neck' with Sam Howell possibly having a slight edge after starting the first preseason game. Joe Milton has 'performed beautifully' in his two appearances, creating a compelling battle for the backup role behind Dak Prescott.

The Cowboys prefer not to use either quarterback in meaningful regular season snaps, but with Prescott's injury history, the backup role will be crucial. This competition will remain a focal point as the team makes its final roster cuts by August 30. newsindata.com
