NFL Insider Shares Major Update On Giants’ Pursuit Of Cowboys QB Joe Milton
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
The New York Giants continue to evaluate options at quarterback after a major injury. Speculation has linked them to a young signal-caller currently sitting on a division rival’s practice squad. An NFL insider has now shared a clear update on that situation.
On Thursday, Josina Anderson reported the latest on the NFC East franchise’s pursuit of Joe Milton. The quarterback remains on the Dallas Cowboys practice squad. Anderson’s update arrived in the early afternoon and came from league sources close to the situation.
Anderson Provides Latest Status On Potential Interest
The report directly addresses recent chatter surrounding Milton as a possible addition for New York. Teams can sign practice-squad players from other clubs without completing a formal trade under current NFL rules. That detail has kept Milton’s name circulating among fans looking for low-cost solutions.
However, the Big Blue hasn’t made any formal move for Milton’s services.
Milton has drawn attention for his strong arm and solid preseason production earlier this year. He joined the Cowboys after an earlier stint with the New England Patriots and has shown flashes of athleticism in limited opportunities. The Giants already have Jameis Winston set to start in the short term while they assess longer-term depth.
Anderson’s sourcing indicates no formal outreach had taken place by the time of her report. That leaves the door open but confirms the team has not moved quickly on this particular name.
Giants Weigh Depth Needs After Recent Injury News
New York is still sorting its quarterback depth chart following the loss of its previous starter to a season-ending knee injury. The organization has kept all options open according to coaching comments earlier in the week. Head coach John Harbaugh has emphasized flexibility while expressing confidence in the players already on the roster.
Milton’s availability on the practice squad makes him a low-cost possibility if the front office decides to act. He would not require draft capital or player compensation in a standard practice-squad elevation scenario. At the same time, the Giants must weigh whether adding another arm at this stage fits their immediate plans.
Anderson’s update offers the clearest public status check so far on one of the more discussed names connected to New York’s search. The situation remains fluid as the team prepares for its next contest and continues internal evaluations. Perhaps after the Week 3 duel against the Tennessee Titans, the Giant wil have a clearer plan.
