George Fant

Pete just said surgery will be required. Sounds like it's doubtful George will be able to play this year.

Done till next year for sure, ACL plus whatever else they find once they open him up.

So sorry George, come back stronger than ever.

GO HAWKS!!!

If there are any FA LT available, now would be the time to try them out. Rather see Joeckel at LG than at LT.

Sick to my stomach.................such a tough injury.

They can't go Into this season with this uncertainty in the oline again. Fant was really.impressing me and was excited to watch him this year

What a blow. This really sucks. He was holding his own out there. Poor guy

The Hawks LT of the future. It's a shame. Can't blame Britt. Like Brock said, he was just being a good teammate and cleaning up. Odhiambo is a third round pick. He's the man now, whether it be at LT or LG if Luke slides out. I really hope he does well and he doesn't turn out to be another wasted offensive line pick.

I was just thinking about Terry Poole the other day and how he was the first lineman taken in the 2014 draft by the Hawks. What a waste that was.

What's our LT options besides Joekel and subsequently LG? Not sure Rees is viable as a starter at either. Glow could move back I guess, but isn't as natural on the left. I think any which way you cut it, we gotta make a move. Curious to see what they do.

Terrible ordeal for Fant though. Especially after all the work he put in....

Oh no. Not Fant... there will Allways ne injuries but Fant... thats just unfair.

As much as I don't trust him I would be calling Branden Albert first thing in the morning if I were Pete and John...

Just devastating. For him and the whole team. Just hope the surgery is a success and he can rehab well and contribute next year. He still has a great upside.

I can't even put into words how upset and disappointed I am for George. He was the player I was most rooting for this season and I think he was going to lock down starting LT this year and keep it for years to come.

He did everything right and came in ready this season. Put in so much work.

Just so upsetting to see. This year out of his development is really not good because he's so fresh and raw.

Awful news. It will change things.

Would have been nice if they had drafted an OT, i.e. Cam Robinson and/or Taylor Moton.

Really awful development. It would be nice to be able to keep Joeckel at LG but Rees was looking shaky at tackle. Fant's on a minimum UDFA contract so we can't afford much of a replacement in trade/FA unless we dump salary elsewhere.

I'm afraid we're going to be looking at a season of growing pains again with a Joeckel-Roos-Britt-Aboushi-Ifedi line.

This will hurt us bad....damn

The pre season is a joke. We don't need to play our starters every game. We don't even need all 4 pre season games. NFL please do something. So dumb.

My hunch is that they will try Pocic at left tackle, because he is their most flexible and adaptable lineman so far. I hope they train and evaluate him in practices only, and save him for real season games.

Whatever plans they have afoot in the trade market may dictate the reaction to this injury. I also suspect Rees gets the gig and they have to muddle through.

Fant was doing really well. I hope he comes back and owns that spot next year.
