Cowboys re-signing QB Joe Milton to practice squad

The Dallas Cowboys are re-signing quarterback Joe Milton to their practice squad after releasing him from the active roster, per Adam Schefter.

Cowboys QB depth chart

Milton's move to the practice squad clears him from the active roster while keeping him in the organization. Sam Howell is the backup quarterback behind the starter.

Fantasy roster impact

Milton on the practice squad carries no fantasy value. His re-signing does not affect any fantasy starter or handcuff worth rostering in standard formats. If you were holding him in a deep dynasty league as a speculative stash, he remains a long shot with minimal upside as a practice squad arm.
