Dallas Cowboys step up QB2 training in first OTA session amid Dak Prescott health concerns

May 23, 2025

The Dallas Cowboys kicked off their Organized Team Activities (OTAs) with a clear focus on strengthening their quarterback depth, spotlighting newly acquired backup Joe Milton while hinting at possible changes for QB1 Dak Prescott. Milton, traded from the New England Patriots, showcased his raw talent and big arm in a dynamic yet inconsistent performance, marked by a 20-yard scramble and two interceptions.

Milton’s development is critical as the Cowboys aim to solidify their QB2 position following Cooper Rush’s tenure. His OTA outing, described by Fort Worth Star-Telegram as a mix of “upside and chaos,” underscores the team’s investment in his potential. Meanwhile, the emphasis on Milton’s reps has sparked speculation about Prescott’s future, especially after his 2024 season-ending injury and ongoing contract discussions.

Head coach Mike McCarthy praised the team’s quarterback room, stating, “We’re building depth and versatility.” With Milton’s high-ceiling skill set and Prescott’s recovery timeline uncertain, the Cowboys appear to be preparing for all scenarios, signaling a potential transition at QB1 as the 2025 season approaches.

Josh Allen Named AFC Offensive Player of the Week After Insane Week 14 Comeback vs Bengals
For the THIRD time in 2025 and the 18th time in his legendary career, Josh Allen has been crowned AFC Offensive Player of the Week – putting him just behind Tom Brady for the most all-time. What he did to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday wasn’t football… it was a superhero movie. Stats that don’t even sound real: 22/28 (78.6%) – 251 passing yards – 3 passing TDs 9 carries – 78 rushing yards – 1 rushing TD (including a 40-yard sprint for the ages) → 4 total TDs, zero turnovers, and a perfect passer rating in the 4th quarter. The Moments That Broke the Internet Down 11 in the 2nd quarter, 4th-and-4 from the 11-yard line Josh Allen escapes pressure, rolls left, and throws an absolute DIME across his body to Khalil Shakir backing into the end zone. Then hits Dawson Knox for the 2-point conversion. Sean McDermott’s one-word reaction on Monday? “Audacity.” Bengals just took a two-possession lead in the 4th Allen needs only 1:11 to march 75 yards and scores himself on a 40-yard touchdown run – the longest rushing TD by a Bill in regular-season history. Game on the line, 3rd-and-15 with 1:54 left Instead of punting, Josh scrambles for the first down, takes a knee twice, and ends the game. Ballgame. History Made (Again) 11th career game with 3+ passing TDs + 1+ rushing TD → most in NFL history (only player with 10+) First player ever with 20+ pass TDs & 10+ rush TDs in three separate seasons First player ever with multiple games of 250+ pass yds, 75+ rush yds, 3+ pass TDs, 1+ rush TD 50th career game with at least 1 passing + 1 rushing TD → extends his own NFL record Josh Allen didn’t just beat the Bengals – he reminded the entire league why he’s the 2025 MVP front-runner. Bills Mafia, is this the best single-game performance of Josh’s career? Sound off in the comments!
