Russell Wilson reveals George Fant to have big role vs Rams

The Seattle Seahawks only have two tight ends on their roster entering week five versus the Los Angeles Rams or do they?
In back-to-back weeks, the Seahawks have elected only to roster two tight ends; although, in week five, it may feel a tad bit different. Last week, they had two tight ends but one of them was their do-everything fourth-round pick out of the University of Washington,
Will Dissly and third-year player
Nick Vannett who has improved this season after getting healthy compared to years past. Now, after Dissly's season was torn down by a patellar tendon tear, the team has Vannett and
Darrell Daniels, who has been with the team all of four weeks, as their only two.
Perhaps, they have a secret third, as quarterback
Russell Wilson may have spilled the beans on a little scheming secret, as he was extolling the virtues of his offensive line ahead of a tough matchup with one of the deadliest defensive lines in the game led by
Aaron Donald and
Ndamukong Suh.
"I think about a guy like [offensive tackle]
George Fant who's going to probably play this week in a big way," he said on Thursday before moving on to another player.
Now before you put on your "Trade/Release
Germain Ifedi" jerseys, remember Ifedi has been fine and penalty-free over the last two weeks. In fact, he's one of only three players this season to play every single offensive snap. The other two are
Russell Wilson and
J.R. Sweezy. Ifedi is not hurt and there's zero reasons to believe he's being considered for a benching nor has any coach even as much as hinted at that being a possibility.
