Football is a contact sport and sometimes these sorts of things happen, and putting the pads on can elevate the intensity of everything going on.At the time of this publishing there is no exact word on what the issue is or isn’t with regards to Fant. When it comes to these sort of things the Cowboys usually assess the situation, sometimes do more testing, and then someone associated with the team speaks in the aftermath of it all. This exact sequence happened with P.J. Locke last week.We’ll update if we get any word on the exact injury.
