Princeton Fant: Everything you need to know

The Cowboys re-signed Fant on Friday. The terms of the contract have yet to be announced, but Fant will return to the Cowboys for the 2026 season. He spent most of the 2025 campaign on the Cowboys' practice squad and, and his lone regular-season appearance came in Week 9 against the Cardinals, when he played 11 snaps on special teams without showing up on the box score otherwise.

Fant reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log. Fant was elevated to the Cowboys' active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals, when he played 11 snaps on special teams during Dallas' 27-17 loss to Arizona. The Cowboys are on a bye Week 10, so his next opportunity to be elevated to the active roster will be for Week 11 against the Raiders on Monday, Nov. 17.

Fant was elevated from the Cowboys' practice squad to the active roster Monday. The Tennessee product joined the Cowboys' practice squad in late August after failing to make the initial 53-man roster. Now with the active roster for the first time in 2025, Fant is expected to play behind Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford in Monday night's matchup against the Cardinals.
