The Dallas Cowboys are projected to enter training camp with two quarterbacks on their 53-man roster, prioritizing defensive depth to enhance their playoff prospects. Dak Prescott is expected to be joined by Sam Howell, while Joe Milton may not make the roster. According to ESPN's Todd Archer, Howell's NFL experience gives him the edge over Milton, who could potentially be relegated to the practice squad. The Cowboys aim to maximize positions on the defensive line and cornerback, possibly sacrificing depth at quarterback to reinforce their defense. Continued evaluation of Milton's development remains a key consideration.
