Who Should I Start? Jake Browning or Joe Milton III

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning (ribs) is expected to miss time with a rib injury, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Browning filled in admirably for Joe Burrow when the latter missed a large chunk of last season with a wrist injury, prompting the team to re-sign him as their backup quarterback. Veteran Logan Woodside and undrafted free agent Rocky Lombardi will be the quarterbacks under center when the Bengals travel to Chicago for their second preseason game.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Joe Milton III (thumb) was back at training camp practice on Thursday after leaving Tuesday's joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams with a thumb injury. Now that Milton is back on the field, he's likely to see plenty of action in the team's preseason opener on Saturday against the Rams with starter Dak Prescott expected to sit out. The 25-year-old should be Dallas' backup signal-caller to Prescott in 2025, with Will Grier serving in the No. 3 role. Milton was selected in the sixth round (193rd overall) by the New England Patriots in 2024. He played in just one game as a rookie, going 22-for-29 with 241 yards and a touchdown in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Bills. Milton has some intrigue as a dual-threat option at the position and could be in play in superflex leagues if Prescott goes down with another injury in 2025.
