(AP) —  left tackle George Fant suffered a torn ACL in his right knee in Friday night’s preseason game against Minnesota and is likely done for the season. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said after the 20-13 victory that Fant has a significant injury that will require surgery. Fant, the presumptive starter going into the regular season, was hurt midway through the second quarter when he was rolled into by teammate Justin Britt on a pass play.
