Cowboys backup quarterback Joe Milton injured his right elbow late in Saturday\u2019s preseason loss to the Rams.<\/p>\n
Milton was sandwiched by two Rams pass rushers on an incompletion with 5:50 left in the fourth quarter. He stayed in for two handoffs before leaving holding his arm.<\/p>\n
Milton, who the Cowboys acquired in a trade from the Patriots this offseason, had an up-and-down performance. He went 17-of-29 for 143 yards with a touchdown and an interception and ran for 22 yards on five carries.<\/p>\n
Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said after the game that Milton bruised his elbow and initial tests show the second-year player will be \u201cOK.\u201d<\/p>\n
Will Grier replaced Milton and finished the drive with an 8-yard touchdown run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cowboys backup quarterback Joe Milton injured his right elbow late in Saturday\u2019s preseason loss to the Rams.
