George Fant Latest News
Back on IR with knee injury
The Seahawks placed Fant (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Fant returned from injured reserve and played in Week 9 against the Rams, but he aggravated his knee injury during the game after playing just 17 offensive snaps. With Fant on IR again, he'll have to sit for at least the next four regular-season games. He is eligible to return from IR as early as Week 15 against the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 15.
Unlikely to return Sunday
Fant (knee) is doubtful to return to the Sunday's contest against the Rams. Fant suffered a knee injury in the first half versus Los Angeles, which now appears to be severe enough to bring his day to an end. In his absence, Michael Jerrell will handle the right tackle spot.
Activated off IR
The Seahawks activated Fant (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Fant was placed on IR in September after suffering a knee injury in Week 1 against Denver. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 23, and he was able to log a full practice Friday. Fant could start at right tackle Sunday against the Rams unless the Seahawks opt to stick with rookie Michael Jerrell.
Practice window opens
The Seahawks designated Fant (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Fant injured his knee in Week 1 against the Broncos, and he was placed on IR prior to the Seahawks' Week 3 game against the Dolphins. His 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and he was a limited participant in his return to practice. He'll likely have to log consecutive full practices before being activated off IR. Michael Jerrell will continue to serve as the Seahawks' starting right tackle if Fant is unable to return for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Goes on IR with knee injury
The Seahawks placed Fant on injured reserve Saturday due to a knee injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Fant sustained the knee injury in Week 1 against the Broncos, and he was unable to play in Week 2 against the Patriots. He was a limited participant in all three practice sessions this week, but he was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Now that he's on IR, the 32-year-old offensive lineman will be forced to sit for at least four games, and the earliest he can return is Week 7 against the Falcons on Oct. 20. Stone Forsythe will hold down the starting job at right tackle while Fant is sidelined.
Not playing Week 3
Fant (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Despite participating in all three practices this week, albeit in a limited capacity, Fant will sit out for a second straight game due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 1 against the Broncos. Stone Forsythe started at right tackle in Week 2 against the Patriots, and he figures to do so again Sunday with Fant sidelined.
Not playing Sunday
Fant (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Fant sustained a knee injury in Week 1 against the Broncos. He was a DNP in all three practices this week, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 3 against the Dolphins on Sept. 22. With Michael Jerrell (coach's decision) also inactive for Sunday's game, Stone Forsythe will likely step in as the starting right tackle.
Deemed doubtful
Fant (knee) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game at New England, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Fant was a non-participant at practice all week, so it seems unlikely that he will be ready to suit up against the Patriots. Should that indeed be the case, Michael Jerrell would likely be the next man up at right tackle. Final confirmation on Fant's status is expected to come Sunday closer to game time.
Leaves for day
Fant (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Broncos. Fant exited in the first quarter with the injury, which was severe enough to end his day early. Stone Forsythe will likely be called upon to step in at right tackle for the remainder of the Week 1 contest.
