Riley Leonard Stumbles in Preseason Opener

Friday, August 14, 12:50 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Riley Leonard started the second half of the Colts' preseason opener against the New England Patriots and completed 10 of 21 passes for 89 yards. Leonard also managed to eke out 12 yards on the ground from two rushing attempts. The sophomore quarterback out of Notre Dame threw one interception early in the third quarter while under pressure from a collapsing pocket, but eventually found his rhythm. Leonard seems to be playing for the third position on the Colts' quarterback depth chart behind Anthony Richardson Sr. and ahead of Easton Stick. He has another chance next week against the Atlanta Falcons to demonstrate progress and improve his efficiency in the air.

Joe Milton III Turns in Strong Showing on Saturday, Remains in Competition for No. 2 Job

Sunday, August 16, 12:35 PM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Joe Milton III kept himself firmly in the mix for the No. 2 job with a strong second half in Saturday's 17-7 preseason win over the Seattle Seahawks. Milton completed 12 of 15 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown, finishing with a 118.6 passer rating and no interceptions. He came out sharp after halftime, completing five of his first six throws for 62 yards on an 84-yard touchdown drive. That possession ended with Milton finding rookie Camden Brown for a two-yard score in the back corner of the end zone. Sam Howell had a good night too, going 8-for-12 for 94 yards and a touchdown in the first half. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said both quarterbacks handled Seattle's pressure well and protected the football. Dallas listed Milton or Howell behind Dak Prescott on its first unofficial depth chart, and Saturday did little to separate them. Milton did what he needed to do to keep the competition going.
