Former Tennessee Vols tight end Princeton Fant was carted off the field at Dallas Cowboys training camp after suffering an apparent knee injury on Monday.

Fant took a knee-to-knee hit after being blocked into running back Israel Abanikanda.

The former Vol was unable to put any weight on his left leg after taking the hit, which is why he eventually required the cart to leave the field.
