STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Milroe gets more reps as backup; showed preseason promise but limited rookie action so far.

Milroe, a third-round pick in 2025 out of Alabama, will receive increased reps as the backup quarterback with Darnold sidelined. As a rookie, he has played only three snaps across the first five games, all runs totaling four yards, with one resulting in a lost fumble against Tampa Bay. During preseason, he completed 27 of 45 passes for 311 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions while running 13 times for 72 yards. Coach Macdonald praised his work ethic and improvement, and receiver Cooper Kupp noted his progress in slowing down the game and making throws during training camp.
