Seahawks LT George Fant suffers torn ACL in right knee
SEATTLE (AP) — Seahawks left tackle George Fant suffered a torn ACL in his right knee in Friday night's preseason game against Minnesota and is likely done for the season.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll said after the 20-13 victory that Fant has a significant injury that will require surgery.
"It's heartbreaking. It's so unfortunate for George," Carroll said. "There are other things that follow that but my first thoughts are for George."
Fant, the presumptive starter going into the regular season, was hurt midway through the second quarter of Friday's game against the Vikings. Fant was rolled into by teammate Justin Britt on a pass play and immediately fell to the turf in pain.
