Milroe gets first-team reps as QB2 for first time; unusual game-week allocation.

Jalen Milroe will serve as backup quarterback for Week 2 and will receive first-team reps during game week preparation, an unusual allocation for a backup during game week. This marks the first time Milroe is playing the QB2 role in his NFL career and represents elevated practice involvement despite being the third-string quarterback entering the week. Coach Mike Macdonald noted this is "not the NFL norm during game week, the backup getting 1s reps," but Milroe had received zero first-team reps prior to this week.
