In a shocking development for the Dallas Cowboys, rookie quarterback Joe Milton has been handed a two-game suspension by the PML league office after testing positive for performance-enhancing substances. The ruling comes during what has been a breakout season for Milton, who has gained attention across the league for “dotting up” defenses with his big arm and fearless playstyle.
Milton’s Rise Halted
Since taking over the starting job, Milton has turned heads with his ability to push the ball downfield and make the Cowboys’ passing attack even more explosive. His chemistry with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens quickly became one of the league’s toughest duos to stop, and Dallas’ offense seemed nearly unstoppable at times.
But with the suspension now official, Milton will be sidelined for two crucial matchups — leaving questions about how the Cowboys’ offense will adjust without their young gunslinger.
Dak Prescott: The Veteran Returns
Fortunately for Dallas, the team turns to a familiar face in Dak Prescott, who will step back into the starting lineup. While Prescott had taken a backseat to Milton in recent weeks, his veteran leadership, decision-making, and command of the offense give the Cowboys stability during Milton’s absence.
Head coach Cody Hirsch praised Prescott’s readiness: “Dak has stayed locked in all season. He knows this system inside and out, and we trust him to step in and keep this offense moving.”
Prescott’s ability to protect the football and spread it around the field should keep Dallas competitive as they look to maintain their position in the playoff race.
What’s Next for Dallas
The suspension is a setback, but it also presents an opportunity for Dallas to show its depth. With Milton sidelined, Dak’s return gives the Cowboys a chance to steady the ship and perhaps even redefine their offensive rhythm. If Prescott can deliver strong performances, Dallas may find themselves even more balanced heading into the postseason push.
As for Milton, he’ll serve his two-game suspension and look to return with the same energy that made him a rising star in PML. For now, though, it’s Dak’s show — and the Cowboys’ championship aspirations rest squarely on the shoulders of their veteran quarterback.
