Mar 4, 2025
Let go by Seattle
Fant was released by the Seahawks on Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant will hit the open market after spending the 2024 campaign in Seattle, appearing in just two games during the year as a result of a pair of knee injuries. The 32-year-old had signed a two-year contract with the Seahawks ahead of 2024, but he'll now look to find his next opportunity elsewhere.
Nov 13, 2024
Back on IR with knee injury
The Seahawks placed Fant (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 3, 2024
Unlikely to return Sunday
Fant (knee) is doubtful to return to the Sunday's contest against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 3, 2024
Activated off IR
The Seahawks activated Fant (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 23, 2024
Practice window opens
The Seahawks designated Fant (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 21, 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.
Sep 20, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 15, 2024
Not playing Sunday
Fant (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 14, 2024
Deemed doubtful
Fant (knee) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game at New England, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 8, 2024
Leaves for day
Fant (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 13, 2024
Sticking around Seattle
Fant and the Seahawks agreed on a contract Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Fant will stick around Seattle for another season, operating as the team's top swing tackle behind Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas (knee). The 31-year-old has proven to be a capable replacement if called upon to start and his return to the Seahawks provides the team with a security blanket on the offensive line.
Jan 20, 2024
Gets green light
Fant (illness) is good to go for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant was given a questionable tag due to an illness, but it looks like he is feeling well enough to play in Baltimore. Barring any setbacks, he will be available to provide depth at tackle if needed behind Laremy Tunsil and Charlie Heck.
Jan 18, 2024
Uncertain for divisional round
Fant (illness) is considered questionable to play Saturday versus the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Fant popped up on the injury report Thursday, missing practice due to an illness, and his status is now up in the air for Saturday's divisional round contest against Baltimore. If he can't go, Josh Jones would likely operate as the primary backup option behind Laremy Tunsil and Charlie Heck at offensive tackle.
Dec 21, 2023
Healthy ahead of Week 16
Fant (hip/illness) was a full participant at the Texans' practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Fant missed the team's overtime win over the Titans in Week 15 due to a hip injury as well as an illness, but he looks ready to go for Sunday's matchup with the Browns. The 31-year-old will be back in his starting role at right tackle.
Dec 16, 2023
Not playing Sunday
Fant (hip) was downgraded Saturday and will not play Sunday against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
The Texans' offensive line woes continue. Charlie Heck and Josh Jones could potentially both fill in depending on how the Texans want to shake out the starting five.
Dec 15, 2023
Chance to play versus Tennessee
Fant (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Fant was able to play through a hip injury in Week 14 against the Jets. He did not practice all week and his status for Sunday's game may not be full known until game day.
Dec 10, 2023
Cleared to play
Fant (hip) is active Sunday against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Fant started the week as a DNP during practice Wednesday and was considered for Week 14. Ultimately, the 31-year-old has recovered enough to suit up and should draw the start at right tackle.
Dec 6, 2023
Sits out Wednesday
Fant (hip) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session.
ANALYSIS
Fant was a DNP in the Wednesday practice leading up to Week 13, but logged full practices the next two days and suited up against the Broncos. His practice participation Thursday will provide a better indicator for his availability Sunday against the Jets.
Sep 14, 2023
Gets full workload
Fant (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Fant was a limited participant Wednesday after suffering a shoulder injury in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. However, the veteran has fully recovered and appears to be ready to go Week 2 against the Colts.
Sep 13, 2023
Limited at practice
Fant (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant was removed from the Week 1 loss to Baltimore with a right shoulder stinger, but the Texans never characterized the injury as serious. In fact, Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans believes the right tackle will be ready to go Sunday. That means the offensive line will lineup Week 2 against the Colts the same as it did against the Ravens. The Texans would love to reduce the number of throws for quarterback C.J. Stroud, who had 44 attempts in the season opener, and having consistency on the offensive line will help achieve that goal.
Sep 10, 2023
Suffers shoulder injury Sunday
Fant is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens due to a shoulder injury.
ANALYSIS
Fant suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter, so it's unlikely he'll return. If he's forced to miss additional time, it's unclear who would step up as the starting right tackle, as the team has already placed Tytus Howard (hand) and Kilian Zierer (ankle) on injured reserve.
Jul 28, 2023
Inks deal with Houston
Fant signed a one-year deal worth up to $4 million with the Texans on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant had tryouts with the Texans and the Titans earlier in the week but opted to sign with Houston. He showed versatility with the Jets over the last three seasons, starting in 36 games over that span while playing both offensive tackle spots.
Jul 26, 2023
Tries out for Texans
Fant (knee) had a tryout with the Texans on Wednesday, Howard Balzer of PHNX reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant has worked out for the Titans and Texans recently, showing that he's over the knee injury that sidelined him for the majority of the 2022 season. He started 36 games for the Jets over the past three seasons and can play either offensive tackle spot.
Jan 8, 2023
Shifts to IR
Fant (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Fant missed the majority of the season with a knee injury and was limited to only eight games as a result. He'll turn his focus to getting fully healthy for the 2023 campaign while Mike Remmers will likely serve as the starting right guard Sunday against the Dolphins.
Jan 6, 2023
No go for Week 18
Fant (knee) has been ruled out for Week 18 against the Dolphins, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant will miss the regular season finale as he tends to the knee injury that he has been dealing with since September. With Duane Brown (shoulder) also out, Mike Remmers and Cedric Ogbuehi could step into starting roles Sunday in Miami.
Dec 4, 2022
Set for return
Fant (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant has been out since late September with a knee injury. According to Cimini, Fant could immediately could retake his starting role at right tackle. If that were the case, Max Mitchell would return to a reserve role.
Nov 23, 2022
Back at practice
Fant (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, signaling he is likely to return from the Jets' injured reserve list soon ahead of Sunday's game versus Chicago, Ethan Greenberg reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant's participation in practice means the Jets now have a 21-day window to activate him before they would have to place him back on their injured reserve list for the remainder of the season. Once he returns to game action he should take over as a starting tackle, probably at the expense of Cedric Ogbuehi.
Sep 27, 2022
Placed on IR
The Jets placed Fant (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant left Sunday's loss to the Bengals with a knee injury and will be forced to miss at least four games after being placed on IR. Fant joins Mekhi Becton (kneecap) and Duane Brown (shoulder) on injured reserve, leaving Max Mitchell, Conor McDermott and Cedric Ogbuechi, who was recently signed on the practice squad, as potential options options at tackle against the Steelers in Week 4.
Sep 26, 2022
Dealing with knee injury
Jets coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Fant (knee) is considered day-to-day, Ethan B. Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant was forced to exit with a knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Bengals, though the exact nature and severity of this issue are still unclear. Saleh added that the team would evaluate the veteran offensive lineman's health later this week before deciding whether or not to keep him sidelined for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh. If Fant does sit out, expect Conor McDermott to start at left tackle in Week 4.
Sep 25, 2022
Questionable to return Sunday
Fant (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Fant's knee injury is currently unclear, but While the 322-pounder remains sidelined, Conor McDermott is in line to receive additional snaps at left tackle.
Sep 25, 2022
Suiting up Sunday
Fant (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant is slated to play for Week 3 after dealing with a knee injury earlier in September. The veteran tackle played 66 of the team's snaps during last week's contest against the Browns. Fant will return to his starting role at right tackle.
Sep 18, 2022
Playing against Cleveland
Fant (knee) is active Week 2 against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Fant started the week with a DNP before logging a limited session Thursday and upgrading to a full participant Friday. He'll resume his regular role at right tackle for the Week 2 contest.
Aug 14, 2022
Switching to right tackle
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Sunday that Fant will be the team's starting right tackle, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant operated as the team's left tackle last season, but after Mekhi Becton (kneecap) was lost for the year, the Jets added Duane Brown. Brown will take over at left tackle, which will shift Fant to the right side of the line.
Jul 27, 2022
Facing competition at left tackle
Coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that fellow lineman Mekhi Becton's left tackle days "aren't over," Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant looked solid at the position after Becton went down Week 1 last season, but protecting sophomore quarterback Zach Wilson is paramount to the Jets' front office, so whoever looks better-suited to guarding his blind side this year is going to end up with the job. Should Becton earn back his spot at left tackle, Fant figures to rotate over to right tackle.
Jul 27, 2022
Rejoins team from PUP list
The Jets activated Fant off the PUP list Wednesday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It appears Fant has fully recovered from the knee issue that's kept him sidelined since late last season. He'll now look to win back his role from 2021 protecting Zach Wilson's blindside at left tackle. Mekhi Becton is also gunning for that job though, and if Becton impresses, Fant may find himself at right tackle to start this regular season.
Jul 21, 2022
Headed for PUP list
Fant (knee) was placed on the Jets' PUP list before the start of the team's training camp next week, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant is expected to participate at some point during training camp, but he will first have to be cleared by the Jets' medical staff before doing so. The 30-year-old offensive tackle started 15 games before ending last season on injured reserve, and he is expected to resume a starting role at one of the team's offensive tackle spots in 2022.
Jun 28, 2022
Ready for camp
Fant (knee) will participate in training camp, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant ended the season on IR after competing in 15 games last year. He is expected to compete with Mekhi Becton (knee) for the starting left tackle spot. However, if he is unsuccessful in securing the job, he'll likely land starting right tackle duties.
Jan 4, 2022
Hits IR
Fant (knee) has officially been placed on the Jets' injured reserve, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant served as the protector of Zach Wilson's blindside for most of the season after Mekhi Becton (knee) suffered a season-ending injury in Week 1. He ends the year with 887 snaps on ofense, which is fourth most on the team. The severity of his knee injury is unknown, but it was previously reported by Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record that the lineman did not injure his ACL.
Jan 3, 2022
Seeking second opinion
Fant (knee) did not injure his ACL after exiting Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, but he is looking for a second opinion on the feedback he received, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
While the lack of an ACL injury is postive, it remains unclear how serious Fant's knee injury is. Thus, his status for the Jets' regular season finale against the Bills is unkown but looking dim. Conor McDermott would presumably replace him at left tackle should he ultimately get ruled out.
Jan 2, 2022
Won't return Sunday
Fant (knee) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS

Jan 2, 2022
Dealing with knee issue
Fant is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Fant suffered the apparent left knee injury in the first half of Sunday's game and was helped off the field before heading to the locker room. While it's not clear if it is related, Fant was also sidelined in Week 15 due to a knee issue. Conor McDermott is likely to take over at left tackle in his absence.
Dec 26, 2021
Back for Week 16
Fant (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Fant missed Week 15 due to the knee injury but is available for Sunday's matchup with the Jags. He should be back at left tackle now that he's healthy.
Dec 19, 2021
Sitting against Dolphins
Fant (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Fant did not practice in any capacity during the week and was doubtful for the contest as a result. Conor McDermott will likely step into the starting left tackle role with Fant sidelined.
Dec 17, 2021
Doubtful for Sunday
Fant (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday against the Dolphins, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant has yet to log a practice all week and combined with the doubtful tag, it doesn't appear likely Fant will take the field Sunday. If he is unable to prove to be healthy enough to face the Dolphins, then Conor McDermott would likely draw the start at right tackle.
Nov 4, 2021
Good to go for TNF
Fant (ankle) is active for Thursday's game against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Fant was considered questionable with the ankle injury he sustained during Sunday's win over the Bengals, but he's ready to play Thursday at Indianapolis. The 29-year-old should continue to start at left tackle with Mekhi Becton (knee) still on injured reserve.
Nov 4, 2021
May play Thursday
Fant (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Colts, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant was able to practice as a limited participant Wednesday, giving him a chance to suit up for Thursday Night Football. The 29-year-old suffered the ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Bengals. Chuma Edoga is likely to receive a start at left tackle should fact be sidelined.
Oct 31, 2021
Downgraded to out
Fant (ankle) won't return Sunday against Cincinnati, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Fant has been downgraded to out, and this inflicts another wound in a very depleted offensive line for the Jets. This also means they'll feature Chuma Edoga at left tackle, though he's the third-stringer at the position.
Oct 31, 2021
Carted off field Sunday
Fant (ankle) was carted off the field and is questionable to return Sunday against the Bengals, according to Connor Hughes of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Fant was carted off the field in the first half and it remains to be seen if the trainers can recover him for the final two quarters. Expect Chuma Edoga to replace him in what's a very depleted offensive line due to injuries.
Sep 13, 2021
Moving to left tackle
Fant will serve as the Jets' starting left tackle while Mekhi Becton (knee) is sidelined, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant shifted to left tackle in Sunday's season opener against the Panthers after Becton went down, and he's slated to remain at the position for four to six weeks since Becton will require arthroscopic knee surgery. As a result, Morgan Moses will take over as the team's starting right tackle.
Aug 9, 2021
Returns from COVID list
Fant (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS

Officially inactive Sunday
Fant (ankle/knee) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Unlikely to play Sunday
Fant (ankle/knee) won't practice Wednesday and is not expected to play in Sunday's contest versus Miami, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

Battling duo of injuries
Fant suffered an ankle sprain and a knee sprain during Sunday's loss to the Chargers, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS

Nov 22, 2020
Set for MRI
Fant (ankle) will undergo an MRI on Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS

Suiting up Week 7
Fant (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant manged through the knee issue as he was deemed a true game-time decision, so the fact that he's healthy is a positive sign for the offensive line. Now healthy, Fant is expected to assume his usual starting role at right tackle for Week 7.
Oct 23, 2020
Could sit out Sunday
Fant (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bills, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant will start at tackle if he's active, and he could bump over to left tackle if Mekhi Becton (shoulder) sits out. If Fant is unable to play, Chuma Edoga (calf), who is considered questionable as well, would be next in line at right tackle.
Oct 7, 2020
Good to go Sunday
Fant (thumb) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old missed one game due to a concussion but returned to the field Thursday only to sustain the thumb injury. Fant is expected to require a cast, but it appears he'll be able to play through the injury.

ANALYSIS
Fant still needs to fully clear the league's concussion protocol before retaking the field. He'll set his sights on Week 4's matchup against the Broncos on Thursday night. Chuma Edoga stands to start at right tackle as long as Fant is unable to go.
Sep 24, 2020
Dealing with concussion
Fant currently resides in the league's concussion protocol, per Eric Allen of the Jets' official site.
ANALYSIS
The Western Kentucky product will now gain clearance by independent doctors before returning to the field. If Fant is unable to go Sunday, Chuma Edoga is expected to draw the start at right tackle.
Mar 16, 2020
Joining Jets
Fant agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract with the Jets on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old started 24 of 46 games over the last four years for the Seahawks, and he'll now make his way to New York for the foreseeable future. Fant will receive $13.7 million guaranteed in the deal and is the likely candidate to take over at left tackle for departing starter Kelvin Beachum.
Jan 12, 2020
Active for playoff game
Fant (groin) will play in Sunday's matchup versus the Packers.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old only logged limited practice time during Friday's session, but wasn't in serious jeopardy to miss time. Fant had started the previous two games in place of Duane Brown (knee) at left tackle, but with Brown returning Sunday, that will allow Fant to go back to his role as a depth offensive lineman.
Oct 25, 2019
May start again
Fant (shoulder) will play in Sunday's game against the Falcons, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant could start at left tackle if Duane Brown (biceps) can't go and right tackle if Germain Ifedi (knee) is unable to shake his injury. Either way, he figures to get onto the field in some capacity, as the Seahawks sometimes line him up at tight end as well.
Aug 23, 2019
On track for regular season
Fant (ankle) is expected to be ready for Week 1, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant is working his way back from a right ankle sprain suffered during Seattle's first preseason game. When healthy, Fant is expected to provide depth at both tight end and offensive tackle for the Seahawks.
