Fant (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Fant may have tweaked his back during the Saints' 23-22 overtime win over the Browns in Week 9, when he finished with one catch on two targets for 12 yards. He'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's NFC South tilt against the Panthers. Fant has accumulated 12 catches on 18 targets for 96 yards and three touchdowns through seven regular-season games.
