Seahawks Activate George Fant Off Injured Reserve

The Seattle Seahawks activated veteran right tackle George Fant from injured reserve ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Fant, who suffered a knee injury in the season opener, was replaced by rookie Michael Jerrell during his absence, but is expected to return to the starting lineup. In a corresponding move, the Seahawks placed defensive tackle Cameron Young on injured reserve due to a knee injury. Additionally, cornerback Josh Jobe and wide receiver Cody White were elevated from the practice squad, with Jobe having recently contributed as a No. 3 cornerback. The Seahawks have struggled with injuries on the offensive line, as fourth-year lineman Stone Forsythe also landed on IR last week. The team must decide whether to stick with Jerrell or reinstate Fant for their critical NFC West game.
