2026 Outlook
Noah Fant, a former undrafted free agent with the Cowboys (2023–2024), rejoined Dallas in 2026 fighting for a roster spot. He's primarily competing for practice squad positioning after spending his prior three seasons in the NFL (11 games, mostly special teams, three tackles, no catches). His involvement in a blocking collision with RB Israel Abanikanda on August 4 during the first full-pad practice resulted in a leg injury that likely ended his roster bid for 2026.
