Princeton Fant - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Signed to active roster The Cowboys signed Fant to the active roster Wednesday.

Impact Fant has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster three times this season, so Dallas needed to sign the 25-year-old tight end in order for him to continue playing in Dallas. Fant has a chance to serve as the Cowboys' No. 3 tight end behind Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford for Thursday's game against the Giants if Jake Ferguson is unable to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols. Fant played 25 snaps on special teams during the Cowboys' 34-26 win over the Commanders this past Sunday.

Reverts to practice squad Fant reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact The tight end was elevated for the second week in a row but, unlike last week, he did not see an offensive snap in Dallas' Week 12 win over Washington. Fant played on 25 special-teams snaps and downed a punt in the fourth quarter. He remained behind Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford on the tight end depth chart with Jake Ferguson (concussion) still out.

Elevated for Week 12 The Cowboys elevated Fant from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Fant will be elevated from the practice squad for a second straight week. In Week 11 against the Texans, Fant logged 22 snaps (five on offense, 17 on special teams) and failed to record a stat. He will serve as the Cowboys' No. 3 tight end behind Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford for Sunday's game against the Commanders due to Jake Ferguson (concussion) being ruled out.

Back with practice squad Fant reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Fant was elevated to the active roster ahead of Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans, failing to garner a target while playing five offensive snaps in the contest. The tight end can still be elevated to the 53-man roster one more time before Dallas would need to officially sign him to the active roster. With Jake Ferguson (concussion) likely unavailable for Week 12, Fant may play again Sunday versus Washington.

Will be available vs. Texans Dallas elevated Fant from its practice squad to its active roster ahead of Monday's game versus the Texans.

Impact Fant will get an opportunity to suit up for his second game of the season in Week 11. In his first contest all 14 of his snaps came on special teams, so a similar role could be in store for him Monday.

NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice squad Fant reverted to Dallas' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Fant played 14 snaps during Sunday's 44-19 loss versus the Saints, all on special teams. If Jake Ferguson (knee) returns for Week 3 as expected, it's hard to imagine any other Cowboys tight end carrying much fantasy value.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated to active roster The Cowboys elevated Fant from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

Impact Fant will bump up from the practice squad Week 2 with Jake Ferguson (MCL) listed as doubtful and No. 4 tight end John Stephens (hamstring) already ruled out. Across two regular-season appearances with Dallas in 2023, Fant contributed exclusively on special teams.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Cowboys' practice squad Dallas signed Fant to the practice squad Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Fant played in two regular-season games for the Cowboys in 2023 and spent most of the year on the team's practice squad. He'll reprise that role for the upcoming season, and he could be elevated to the active roster if any of the tight ends on the initial 53-man roster were to miss time.

Doesn't make 53-man roster The Cowboys waived Fant on Tuesday.

Impact Fant spent most of 2023 on the Cowboys' practice squad, though he did appear in two regular-season games and played 30 snaps on special teams. He entered training camp competing for a depth spot at tight end, and across three preseason outings, he accumulated four catches on six targets for 18 yards. Fant could opt to sign with the Cowboys' practice squad or look to catch on with another team elsewhere, assuming he goes unclaimed off waivers.

Reverts to practice squad Fant reverted to Dallas' practice squad Monday.

Impact Fant will return to the practice squad after playing 15 special teams snaps in Sunday's win versus the Eagles. However, the 24-year-old failed to record any stats, something he's now done in both of his appearances this season.

Joins active roster The Cowboys elevated Fant to their active roster ahead of Thursday night's game against the Seahawks.

Impact The 24-year-old's elevation is likely an indication that Peyton Hendershot (ankle) won't be activated from injured reserve by Thursday night's contest. Fant signed with Dallas as an undrafted free agent this past offseason, and he has yet to appear in an NFL game. In his five-year collegiate career, the Tennessee product was able to log 579 receiving yards on 52 receptions.
