Seahawks HC Pete Carroll confirmed following Friday’s preseason game that LT George Fant is out for the season with an ACL tear.
“Really broken-hearted about George Fant getting hurt,” Carroll said, via Pro Football Talk. “Just unfortunate. He’s done so much, come so far and everybody’s cheering for him and rooting for him all along. He’s going to be in trouble getting back this season. He’s got a knee injury that’s going to require surgery, unfortunately. Kinda takes a little something out of it for everybody.”
After losing Fant, the Seahawks turned to Rees Odhiambo at left tackle, so he could be the top internal candidate along with Luke Joeckel, who previously played left tackle for the Jaguars.
