Princeton Fant of the Cowboys Suffers Season-Ending Knee Injury
Princeton Fant, a tight end for the Cowboys, will not play for the remainder of the season following a significant knee injury sustained during practice on Monday.
The injury occurred when Fant was blocked into running back Israel Abanikanda, resulting in a torn anterior cruciate ligament and a partial tear of his medial collateral ligament. He is scheduled to undergo surgery in the coming weeks, as confirmed by head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Fant joined the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent from Tennessee in 2023 and has participated in 11 games over three seasons, primarily contributing on special teams. The Cowboys have other tight ends on their roster, including Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann-Ford, and Luke Schoonmaker.
