The Dallas Cowboys have claimed tight end Zack Kuntz following an ACL injury to Princeton Fant during training camp. Kuntz, a former seventh-round pick in 2023, was recently released by the Las Vegas Raiders after brief stints with several teams in the NFL. Standing 6-foot-7 and known for his athleticism, Kuntz had a strong collegiate career at Old Dominion but has yet to make an impact in the NFL, with no catches to date. He is expected to compete for a roster spot as a potential TE3 and red-zone target, facing competition from Luke Schoonmaker and others.
