Est. Return 10/20/2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Fant quietly emerged as a quality starting left tackle last season before hurting his knee in Week 17. Now healthy, Fant will compete with Mekhi Becton, who's recovering from a knee injury of his own, for the Jets' starting left tackle spot. Should Becton win that competition, Fant will likely retain a starting role at right tackle.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Workout scheduled with Tennessee
Fant has a workout scheduled with the Titans on Saturday, according to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.
ANALYSIS
Fant finished the 2022 season on injured reserve due to a knee injury, but he started 36 games for the Jets over the past three seasons while getting playing time at both tackle positions. If Fant can show that he's back to his pre-injury form, he could have an opportunity to open the season in a starting role for the Titans while Nicholas Petit-Frere serves a six-game suspension.
