Cowboys TE Princeton Fant out for year with torn ACL
Jul 29, 2026; Oxnard, CA, USA; Dallas Cowboys tight end Princeton Fant (85) catches the ball at training camp at River Ridge Playing Fields. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Dallas Cowboys tight end Princeton Fant suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will miss the season.
Fant had to be carted off the practice field on Monday after he was blocked backward into a teammate. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer confirmed the diagnosis Tuesday and said the tight end would have surgery within the next couple of weeks.
Fant, 27, was entering his fourth NFL season, all with the Cowboys. He has taken only 14 offensive snaps in his pro career, none last year, but he has contributed on special teams.
Fant spent most of last season on the practice squad, appearing in one game and making one tackle.
Dallas has Jake Ferguson as its projected No. 1 tight end and Luke Schoonmaker, Brevyn Spann-Ford and undrafted rookie Michael Trigg behind him on the depth chart.
