The Dallas Cowboys waive backup quarterback Joe Milton III, clearing a spot on the team’s 53-man roster. Multiple outlets report the move is part of a broader roster adjustment rather than a standalone quarterback decision.
The change comes alongside the addition of running back Emari Demercado to the Cowboys’ roster. Yahoo Sports and Fox Sports both link the timing of the waiver to the need for roster space, while the New York Post characterizes the shakeup as surprising and notes a change to the quarterback depth chart.
Outlets differ mainly in emphasis: some focus directly on the release/waiver of Milton, while others highlight the positional context—Demercado’s arrival and the resulting reshuffling. All accounts agree on the core facts that Milton is waived and the Cowboys adjust the roster to accommodate another player.
