Cowboys waive Milton despite strong preseason to make room for Demercado.

The Cowboys waived Joe Milton III to accommodate the acquisition of running back Emari Demercado off waivers from the Chiefs. Milton had impressed during preseason with 271 yards and two touchdowns over three appearances, outshining Sam Howell for the backup role behind Dak Prescott, but was released after just over one year in Dallas despite his strong arm talent and athleticism.
