The Dallas Cowboys have announced the signing of quarterback Joe Milton to their practice squad. Milton was released earlier this week after being edged out by Sam Howell for the backup quarterback position behind Dak Prescott.

Milton became a free agent when he went unclaimed on waivers following the Cowboys' decision to move forward with Howell. Howell expressed his excitement about securing the backup role, stating that he is committed to helping the team succeed and will continue to work hard.

In addition to Milton's return, the Cowboys have made other roster moves, including the addition of running back Emari Demercado, who was signed off waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs. His former coach, Andy Reid, praised Demercado's skills, particularly in pass protection and his ability to find running lanes.

The Cowboys also saw Camden Brown make the final roster, learning of his selection through social media, which he described as a unique way to receive such important news.

Quinnen Williams, entering his second season with the Cowboys, commented on the team's growth, particularly on the defensive side, noting significant improvements since the previous year. He highlighted the positive changes in team culture and mindset, which he believes have contributed to their development.

Further details regarding the team's strategy and player performance are not yet clear.
