Cowboys tight end Princeton Fant leaves practice early after apparently suffering knee injury
Fant was carted off after a knee-on-knee hit, and coach Brian Schottenheimer said it was the Cowboys’ first significant injury since camp opened.
- On Monday, Aug 3, Dallas Cowboys tight end Princeton Fant suffered an apparent knee injury during practice in Oxnard, Calif., and was carted off the field following a collision with running back Israel Abanikanda.
- Fant faces an uphill climb to make the Dallas Cowboys' 53-man roster, competing for position behind teammates Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann-Ford, and Luke Schoonmaker on the depth chart.
- Signed as an undrafted free agent from Tennessee in 2023, Fant has appeared in 11 games over three seasons, recording 189 special teams snaps compared to just 14 offensive snaps.
- Head coach Brian Schottenheimer is managing multiple roster absences, including Safeties P.J. Locke and Jalen Thompson, while noting that Cornerback Zion Childress's recovery is "probably going to be a little bit longer."
- The exact severity of Fant's injury remains unknown; teams increasingly use the cart for minor issues, complicating immediate assessment of whether this signals a significant setback for his roster chances.
