Joe Milton launched a deep touchdown pass, a 75-yard strike to receiver Jalen Brooks. This had fans buzzing about the quarterback’s arm talent.

It wasn’t the only reason he made headlines this week. Milton, acquired by Dallas in an offseason trade with New England, briefly exited Tuesday's session after hitting his throwing hand on a defender’s helmet. The moment sparked concern, but the team was quick to downplay the severity of the incident.

Trainers attended to him and he remained on the sidelines for the remainder of practice.

Team owner Jerry Jones and executive vice president Stephen Jones spoke with coaches after the session, but did not seem concerned when asked about Milton’s availability. By Wednesday morning, optimism around his status had grown.

Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer confirmed on Wednesday that Milton had avoided any significant damage to his thumb and had resumed throwing during the following day's walkthrough.

"He's doing fine," Schottenheimer said. "He should have no problem. He was throwing the ball around ... earlier."

Joe Milton is expected to start in Saturday’s preseason opener against the Rams. Dak Prescott’s playing status remains undecided and Milton is likely to see extended snaps as the coaching staff evaluates depth behind center. With fellow backup Will Grier also in the mix, Dallas has a developing competition for the No. 2 job behind Prescott.
