Opportunity appeared to be knocking for former Tennessee Vols QB Joe Milton III after he was traded from the New England Patriots to the Dallas Cowboys during the offseason. Now, the Cowboys have made an official designation as to Milton's status with the team ahead of its preseason opener this

Milton said he’s fine and has established himself as the clear No. 2 behind Prescott. One of the biggest adjustments for Milton is getting rid of the ball quicker. In that last game for the Patriots, Milton took 3.63 seconds to throw the ball. That’s way too long, however, the type of play-call and whether the receivers are open adds more context.

Not many starters are expected to suit up for the preseason opener, but Joe Milton and Deuce Vaughn will be among those on display.
