Fant caught one of three targets in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots.
Analysis
It was another underwhelming performance by Fant, as he has produced just 25 receiving yards despite Geno Smith throwing for 498 yards through two games. Fant is still playing plenty of snaps, as he handled an 80 percent share in Week 2. However, it appears Fant's role hasn't improved much in the Seahawks' new system.
Fant (toe) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis
After opening Week 1 prep with a pair of limited practices, Fant avoided a designation entirely for this past Sunday's game versus the Broncos, turning a 75 percent snap share into two catches (on four targets) for 11 yards. He should retain a similar workload this Sunday in New England, but production may be difficult to come by in an receiving corps led by WRs DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
Fant (toe) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis
Fant is beginning this week as he did preparations for Week 1 with a capped session. If he follows a similar path this time around, he'll be limited Thursday and a full participant Friday before going into the weekend without a designation. Fant handled a 75 percent share of the offensive snaps this past Sunday against the Broncos on his way to two catches (on four targets) for 11 yards.

Fant caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.
Analysis
While it was a difficult outing for Fant individually, the Seahawks struggled in the air overall, totaling just 171 yards. He's the clear No. 1 tight end, but he's probably fourth in the pecking order when it comes to targets, sitting behind WRs DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Fant will look to bounce back Week 2 against the Patriots.
Fant (toe) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Fant began the week with back-to-back limited practices, but the toe injury he spent most of August dealing with won't impact his Week 1 availability. With backup tight end Pharaoh Brown (foot) ruled out to face Denver, Fant could be in line for slightly more opportunities than usual as Seattle's top TE.
Fant (toe) was limited at practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis
With back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 1 prep due to a toe injury that has lingered for almost one month, Fant has just one more chance to get back to all activity before the Seahawks potentially give him a designation for Sunday's game versus the Broncos. Meanwhile, fellow TE Pharaoh Brown (foot) hasn't practiced this week, which has left Brady Russell and AJ Barner as the healthy players at the position on the team's active roster.

Fant practiced on a limited basis Wednesday due to a toe injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis
Since Fant suffered an apparent foot issue during an Aug. 7 practice, head coach Mike Macdonald was mum on the nature of the tight end's health concern, merely expressing optimism that Fant will be available Week 1. Now that the injury is known, Fant will have two more days to prove his health before the Seahawks potentially give him a designation before Sunday's contest against the Broncos. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Pharaoh Brown (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, which could open the door for a few more targets for Fant this weekend, assuming the latter is active and the former is limited or sidelined.

Fant (foot) was suited up for warmups ahead of Monday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Fant hasn't practiced since Aug. 6 due to a foot injury, and it's unclear if he'll participate in drills Monday as the Seahawks ramp up for a Week 1 matchup with the Broncos. The Seahawks' first practice report of the season will be posted Wednesday in advance of Sunday's game, so how he's listed there may indicate where he's at in his recovery.

Type: Foot
Coach Mike Macdonald noted Thursday that the Seahawks are optimistic both Fant (foot) and Pharaoh Brown (foot) will be available for the team's regular-season opener, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Macdonald's comments Thursday effectively confirm that Fant won't play in the team's preseason finale against the Browns on Saturday, but it looks like the Seahawks could have both of their top tight ends available for Week 1 action. Added context on that front will arrive no later than the first official practice/injury report the team releases in advance of a Sept. 8 matchup against the Broncos.
