A former Tennessee Vols player is set to make his NFL debut after getting promoted from the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad on Thursday.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Thursday that former Vols tight end Princeton Fant was elevated from the Cowboys' practice squad ahead of Dallas' game on Thursday night against the Seattle Seahawks.
Fant, who was signed by Dallas as an undrafted free agent after the 2023 NFL Draft, will have a familiar face across the field when he makes his debut. As Schefter noted, Fant's cousin, Noah, plays for the Seahawks.

- Butch Jones -- 2017
- Brady Hoke -- 2017 (interim)
- Jeremy Pruitt -- 2018-2020

- Josh Heupel -- 2021-2022
The Cowboys' game against the Seahawks kicks off at 8:15 PM ET on Thursday night. The game will air on Amazon Prime.
