Milton ranking as a loser is a win for Will Grier, who may now have a real shot at winning the backup job to Dak Prescott. Prescott hasn't played in a preseason game since 2019. He got the start at nickelback and was exploited early and often in Dallas' awful start to the game. He has likely fallen behind Mukuamu in the nickelback position battle.

The Dallas Cowboys have two more preseason games to play, but these players are doing their part to prove they belong on the initial 53-man roster.

On the first drive, the Cowboys’ defense got the Rams into a 4th and 6 near midfield. Stetson Bennett went right after Booth going against Xavier Smith. Smith beat Booth clearly and was able to haul in the pass to get the Rams inside the ten.
