Fant (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports. Fant was unable to play in Week 17 against the Eagles due to a calf injury. He was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough, but his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he is on track to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Commanders.
Fant (calf) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Eagles. The tight end was added to the injury report Saturday with the calf issue. Fant has yet to record a target in seven games this season. Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford should round out the tight end depth chart in his absence.
Fant is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia. Fant was added to Saturday's injury report due to a calf injury, and he is now in danger of missing Sunday's NFC East clash. Fant hasn't registered a target across the seven games he's played in this season. Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford would serve as the Cowboys' three tight ends if Fant is ruled out for Sunday's contest.
The Cowboys signed Fant to the active roster Wednesday. 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 will serve as the Cowboys' No. 3 tight end behind Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford for Thursday's game against the Giants due to Jake Ferguson being ruled out with a concussion. Fant played 25 snaps on special teams during the Cowboys' 34-26 win over the Commanders this past Sunday.
Fant reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. 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.
The Cowboys elevated Fant from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. 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.
Fant reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log. 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.
Dallas elevated Fant from its practice squad to its active roster ahead of Monday's game versus the Texans. 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.
Fant reverted to Dallas' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. 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.
