The Dallas Cowboys have a huge matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Dallas sits at 3-3 and are trying to keep pace with the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders in the NFC East.
However, just days before this huge contest, Dallas had some devastating news to announce.

According to The Athletic’s Jon Machota:
Cowboys TE John Stephens suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice yesterday
Todd Archer of ESPN reports that Stephens tore his ACL at practice.
The injury is Stephens’ second straight torn ACL. During the preseason last year, he tore the same ligament. Undrafted last year, he was competing to make the Cowboys’ roster when he suffered the injury. He has never played a regular-season game for the Cowboys.
His father, John Stephens, was the Patriots’ first-round draft pick in 1988 and was named the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year that year.
Here is a look at Stephens’ colligate stats:
