Joe Milton III got straight-up waived by Dallas on Monday after the NFL preseason, but the dude is already back with the Cowboys, snagging a spot on their practice squad. Talk about a quick turnaround!
Milton III, who repped the Vols from 2021-23 and appeared in 29 games, had previously shown out, seriously, totaling three touchdowns for the Cowboys at Arizona and even eluding the New Orleans Saints rush during a game at AT&T Stadium. He’s not the only former Vol making moves, though. Dallas also signed offensive lineman Wanya Morris to the practice squad. Morris played at Tennessee from 2019-20 before transferring to Oklahoma after the 2020 season.
And listen, the Cowboys didn’t stop there. They rounded out their practice squad with a whole crew: defensive back Reddy Steward (Troy), running back Israel Abanikanda (Pittsburgh), linebacker Justin Barron (Syracuse), defensive tackle Tommy Dunn (Kansas), wide receiver Jordan Hudson (SMU), offensive tackle Marcellus Johnson (Missouri), defensive back Derion Kendrick (Georgia), wide receiver Anthony Smith (ECU), tight end Michael Trigg (Baylor), linebacker Isaiah Land (Florida A&M), center Nick Leverett (Rice), linebacker Curtis Robinson (Stanford), defensive tackle Adedayo Odeleye, defensive tackle Elijah Garcia (Rice), and tight end Mitch Van Vooren (St. Norbert).
All these guys are getting set as Dallas kicks off their regular season on September 13. They’re heading to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, to face the Giants at 8:20 p.m. EDT on NBC. You know it’s gonna be a battle! Time to roll!
