A quarterback battle is looming for the Dallas Cowboys, but it will not involve Dak Prescott, who is still firmly entrenched as the team\u2019s top option under center. Prescott is still working his way back to 100 percent form from a season-ending surgery on his hamstring in 2024, and the expectation is that he\u2019ll see action come Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Coming back to the aforementioned QB battle, it is for the main backup role behind Prescott, with Will Grier and\u00a0of<\/a>fseason acquisition Joe Milton\u00a0expected to compete opposite each other.<\/p>\n

Grier has more experience with the Cowboys, though, mostly as a practice player. Milton, on the other hand, is fresh off an NFL\u00a0rookie season with the New England Patriots\u00a0that was nothing much to write home about, appearing in only a game.<\/p>\n

New Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer recently spoke about the good relationship of Dallas quarterbacks despite the competition for the QB2 job. Milton seconded that take from Schottenheimer.<\/p>\n

Via\u00a0Patrik Walker on the Cowboys\u2019 official website:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great, man,\u201d said Milton, again grinning sizably. \u201cWe all have three different games, you know? Dak brings the most experience to the room and Will has been around football throughout his whole life. And then you\u2019ve got me, whereas I didn\u2019t grow up with a quarterback coach.\u2029I just happened to be so athletic, and I bring extra tools.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It remains to be seen whether Milton will win the QB2 gig, but it\u2019s at least great to know for the Cowboys and their fans that their signal-callers are on the same page.<\/p>\n
