Seahawks' Noah Fant: Fully practicing off knee surgery

Fant (knee) was upgraded to full participation in practice this week, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Fant opened training camp on the active/PUP list after undergoing offseason knee surgery. He was activated July 30 but had been limited in practices up until this week. The 2019 first-round selection is entering the final year of his contract and is coming off a 2022 campaign where he averaged a career-low 28.6 yards per game with four touchdowns while he was part of a three-man tight end rotation alongside Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson. All three players are back in the fold for 2023, so Fant's role seems unlikely to change dramatically during his second season in Seattle.
