Cowboys name starting quarterback for Week 2 of preseason vs Ravens

The Dallas Cowboys have named their starting quarterback for Week 2 of the NFL preseason. Despite being shaken up in the preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams, head coach Brian Schottenheimer has decided to run it back with Joe Milton III leading the ones.

Milton had an inconsistent performance in the Week 1 loss to the Rams, but the team wants to continue getting him reps to see what they could have moving forward by giving him the Week 2 start against the Baltimore Ravens.

Will Grier will also be available after impressing the coaching staff in limited action last weekend, but there is no plan for him to see reps.

Following his Cowboys debut, Milton gave a brutally honest assessment of his performance and vowed to “settle down” and get better.

He finished the game 17-of-29 for 143 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He added five carries for 22 yards.
