What happened: The Cowboys released quarterback Joe Milton, according to Adam Schefter. Milton had been part of the club's preseason competition for the No. 2 job.

Why it matters: The move reshapes Dallas' quarterback depth as the 2026 season approaches. It also ends a roster decision that remained unsettled through the preseason.

What to watch: Dallas' next roster update will show how it allocates the spot opened by Milton's release.
