Cowboys retain quarterback depth as Emmitt Smith faces fraud allegations

The Dallas Cowboys have finalized their quarterback depth chart with Joe Milton returning to the practice squad to join Sam Howell and Dak Prescott. Despite interest from other NFL teams, Milton remains in Dallas, leaving Howell to focus on his role as the primary backup. Front office concerns persist regarding upcoming contract negotiations for CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, as the team adjusts to the loss of Micah Parsons. Separately, Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith faces accusations of defrauding a Native American investor out of $2.5 million. The organization also continues to monitor internal personnel developments, including the search for defensive improvements following multiple roster changes earlier this summer. Elsewhere in the league, the Raiders have named Kirk Cousins as their starting quarterback, while the Chiefs prepare for their season opener with Patrick Mahomes.
