Cleared to face Dolphins Fant (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Fant's good to go, while backup Pharaoh Brown (knee) is listed as questionable. Despite handling at least 75 percent of snaps on offense in each of Seattle's first two games, Fant has seen minimal involvement in the passing attack, catching just three of seven targets for 25 yards. He'll look to turn his significant playing time into more production Sunday against a Dolphins team that has allowed just 38 yards to tight ends through two games.

Stays limited in practice Fant (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact For a third week in a row to kick off the season, Fant's toe injury has impacted his on-field work in advance of game day. In both Weeks 1 and 2, though, he entered the weekend without a designation, something that will be clarified, one way or another, when Seattle posts its final practice report of the week Friday ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Dolphins.
SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Limited to begin Week 3 prep Fant (toe) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Fant again is kicking off a week of game prep with a capped session due to a toe injury, but he's been able to play through it so far, gathering in three of seven targets for 25 yards through two contests. His status will continue to be watched as the Seahawks gear up to face the Dolphins on Sunday.
SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Catches one pass Sunday Fant caught one of three targets in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots.
Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 13 • SEAHAWKS.COM
Logs full practice Thursday Fant (toe) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact 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.
SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Stays limited to start week Fant (toe) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact 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 full 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.
SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Totals 11 yards against former team Fant caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.
Impact 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.

Good to go for Week 1 Fant (toe) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Fant began the week with back-to-back limited practice sessions, 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.
SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Another limited showing Fant (toe) was limited at practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact 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.
SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Limited by toe issue Fant practiced on a limited basis Wednesday due to a toe injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Since Fant suffered an apparent foot issue during an Aug. 7 practice, coach Mike Macdonald was mum on the nature of Fant's health concern, only expressing optimism that the tight end would 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 TE 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.
SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Present for warmups Fant (foot) was suited up for warmups ahead of Monday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Impact 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.
SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Optimism for Week 1 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...
Impact 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.

To resume practicing next week Fant (foot) likely will return to practice next week, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Impact Fant made an early exit from Tuesday's session due to a foot injury, which presumably will keep him out for Saturday's preseason game at the Chargers. With Fant sidelined this weekend, Pharaoh Brown, Tyler Mabry and Brady Russell are next up for TE reps in the Seahawks offense.
AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE
Exits practice early Fant left Tuesday's practice with an apparent foot injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Fant reportedly left midway through practice and didn't return. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald didn't speak with the media after the session to provide an update, so it remains to be seen if the injury will cost Fant any time beyond Tuesday. The 26-year-old is positioned for a larger role than he had last year, as fellow tight ends Colby Parkinson and Will Dissly signed with other teams this offseason, while Fant re-signed with Seattle on a two-year, $21 million deal ($11.49 million guaranteed at signing).
