Milroe showed marked improvement in the Chiefs preseason game, completing 16 of 26 passes for 223 yards, one touchdown, no interceptions, and just one sack after a poor performance against Green Bay (three fumbles, 20-7 loss). Coach Mike Macdonald said Milroe "took a step in this game and should be excited about his growth." Overall preseason line: 27 of 45 for 311 yards, one TD, two interceptions, six sacks, 69.8 passer rating, and 72 rushing yards on 13 carries. The source notes "any thought of the team moving on from Milroe is out the window" given investment and limited evaluation time, though he is expected to serve as the emergency third QB rather than a meaningful role player.

Milroe threw for over 200 yards and 1 TD in preseason action against Kansas City, demonstrating improved decision-making and accuracy with several explosive passes of 40, 30, and 24 yards. He also scored a rushing TD on a read option (called back on holding) and connected on a TD pass to Nick Vannett. Despite some teammates failing to make routine plays (including a fumble credited to him on a low backwards pass to Jacardia Wright), Milroe's overall performance was described as a work in progress that deserves a roster spot, with former Chiefs QB Trent Green impressed by his play.

Milroe delivered his best preseason performance as a full-game starter, completing 16/26 for 223 yards and a touchdown with 20 rushing yards. The source notes this was the first time Milroe looked demonstrably better than third and fourth-string opposition, with decisive, accurate, on-time throws to Cody White, Montorie Foster, Nick Kallerup, and Elijah Arroyo. The game slowed down for him and he showed clear improvement after the Tennessee Titans game, warranting consideration as a potential QB2 in 2027 if he continues this trajectory.

Milroe delivered his best preseason performance as a full-game starter, completing 16/26 for 223 yards and one touchdown with 20 rushing yards. The source notes this was the first time Milroe looked demonstrably better than third and fourth-string opposition, making decisive, accurate, on-time throws to Cody White, Montorie Foster, Nick Kallerup, and Elijah Arroyo. The game slowed down for him and he had time to progress through reads thanks to solid offensive line protection. The source characterizes this as a clear sign of improvement and a step in the right direction after earlier preseason struggles, suggesting he could develop into a viable QB2 option in 2027.

Second-year QB Milroe was identified as one of the biggest winners in the Seahawks' preseason finale, completing 16 of 26 passes for 223 yards and a touchdown. He demonstrated clinical downfield throws including a 40-yard bomb to Cody White, executed well on dropback and play-action concepts, and led a final seven-play drive from the 20-yard line to set up a potential game-winning field goal. Head coach Mike Macdonald praised his decisiveness and strong downfield throws, noting he 'took care of the football and was decisive.' Milroe emphasized developing decisiveness as his key focus throughout training camp and remained poised despite playing with two offensive tackles who had been with the team for only 72 hours collectively.

Milroe made several high-quality throws under pressure and in critical situations: a 40-yard completion to Cody White down the field after being backed up in his end zone following penalties; a 24-yard dart to Elijah Arroyo; a throw to Cody White into Chiefs territory; and a big-time throw to Emmanuel Henderson Jr in the face of pressure to set up first-and-goal at the 1. The source describes these as 'good plays' and 'big-time throws,' indicating competent decision-making and arm talent in live situations.
