Cowboys QB Battle Too Close to Call

The Cowboys' backup quarterback competition remains too close to call heading into the preseason finale, with Sam Howell and Joe Milton both performing admirably.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer described the backup QB competition as "neck and neck" between Sam Howell and Joe Milton. Howell started the first preseason game while Milton played the second half, with the two switching roles against the Cardinals. sweetbonan.org

Schottenheimer praised both quarterbacks, noting Milton has "performed beautifully in both games" while Howell has "made a lot of plays too." With the August 30 roster cut approaching, the competition will remain a focal point as the Cowboys hope to avoid using either QB in meaningful regular season snaps.
