Washington is dialing up depth at offensive tackle this week by bringing in two veteran options for workouts,George Fant and Cameron Fleming, as training camp injuries and wear test the Commanders’ reserve lines. Fant, Fleming and other veterans are courting a role that could give Washington a reliable swing tackle behind its top options, especially with Brandon Cosmi’s ACL rehab and the ongoing evaluation of multiple camp tackles.

With Fant and Fleming in the mix, Washington could solidify a path to improved pass protection and run-blocking behind a potentially unsettled depth chart. Fantasy players should watch how this unfolds through camp, as a sign that Fant or Fleming could lock in a season-long role, influence starter stability, and potentially lift the fantasy value of Washington’s blockers and backfield depending on who wins the left/right tackle spots.

Overall, Washington is hedging its bets by vetting experienced tackles while Cosmi rehabs, keeping the door open for a mid-season depth move. The dynamic could shift several times before Week 1, so fantasy managers should monitor announcements and camp notes for any role locks or emergence that could tip the balance for the pass protection and run game.

Former Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle George Fant is reportedly set to work out with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they seek to bolster their offensive line. The Buccaneers are currently dealing with injuries, particularly to starting tackle Tristan Wirfs, intensifying their need for quality depth at the position. Fant, who previously played for the Seahawks and spent last season with the New York Jets, could find himself in a familiar role, providing valuable experience and versatility to the Buccaneers' offensive line.

The Dallas Cowboys are actively scouting potential free agents, recently holding tryouts for George Fant, a seasoned offensive tackle. Standing at 6'5" and weighing 320 pounds, Fant brings a wealth of experience to the table, having started 75 games over his ten-year career. His familiarity with the Cowboys' coaching staff is a notable factor in his workout, potentially increasing his chances of securing a position on the roster. As the Cowboys look to strengthen their offense, Fant's versatility and experience could play a crucial role in their plans.

Defensive end DeVere Levelston, a former standout from DeSoto, will soon audition for the Dallas Cowboys following mandatory minicamp. Previously, he played for the UFL's Memphis Showboats, where he recorded 13 tackles, 2 sacks, and 2 tackles for loss. Before that, he spent time on the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad, having originally signed with them as an undrafted free agent from SMU. In his college career at SMU, he amassed impressive stats with 90 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, and 11 sacks. Other prospects auditioning include cornerbacks Robert Rochell and Jerry Jacobs, along with offensive tackle George Fant. The Cowboys have a notable history of players transitioning from spring leagues to the NFL, with examples like KaVontae Turpin and Brandon Aubrey.

The Carolina Panthers have made a surprising move by signing Colin Granger, a basketball player with no prior football experience, as a tight end. This decision, explained by GM Dan Morgan, aims to fill the 90-man roster and explore new talent. Granger was recommended by George Fant, a former offensive lineman for the Seahawks, who transitioned from basketball to football. At 6'9" and 235 pounds, Granger's height could provide an interesting advantage on the field. Morgan is optimistic about this unconventional addition and hopes Granger can mirror Fant's successful NFL career.
