George Fant lasted just one quarter in the season opener against the Denver Broncos before leaving with a knee injury, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming game against the Patriots. His early exit highlighted depth issues at the tackle position, especially with starting right tackle Abraham Lucas already sidelined for the first four games. Fant's performance was under scrutiny as he surrendered a sack prior to his injury, and the Seahawks are now left with uncertainties regarding their offensive line against a strong New England defense.
