Cowboys' John Stephens Jr. Suffers Season-Ending ACL Injury

The tight end's recurring knee injury sidelines him for the second consecutive season.

John Stephens Jr., a Dallas Cowboys tight end, tore his left ACL during practice on Wednesday.
This marks the second time Stephens has suffered an ACL tear in the same knee, having missed the 2023 season due to a similar injury.
Stephens, a 26-year-old undrafted free agent from Louisiana, has yet to appear in a regular-season game for the Cowboys.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy expressed disappointment, highlighting Stephens' hard work and promising potential.
The Cowboys will rely on Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker, and Brevyn Spann-Ford to fill the tight end position in Stephens' absence.
