Cowboys QB Battle Neck and Neck

Published August 25, 2026 · Updated August 25, 2026 · NBC Sports

Cowboys' backup quarterback competition remains tight between Sam Howell and Joe Milton heading into the preseason finale.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer described the competition as 'neck and neck' with Howell 'maybe a little bit ahead' after Milton 'performed beautifully' in both preseason games. The two quarterbacks have split reps, with Howell starting the first game and Milton excelling in the second half. solvita.blog

The Cowboys hope neither backup will see meaningful regular season snaps behind Dak Prescott, but the competition will be a focal point when the team cuts to 53 players on August 30.
