Seahawks Rookie Safety Bud Clark Out Months After Ankle Break

In a 19-16 preseason loss to the Titans, rookie safety Bud Clark suffered a broken right ankle, sidelining him for several months as the Seahawks prepare for the regular season. The injury came during Sunday night’s game, a key early test of the team’s depth and resilience. Clark’s absence will force the coaching staff to shuffle the secondary, potentially accelerating the development of younger players or prompting a mid‑season roster move. Meanwhile, offensive lineman Mason Richman also sustained a major injury, adding another layer of uncertainty to the squad’s offseason plans. The dual setbacks underscore the physical toll of preseason play and the importance of injury depth for a competitive roster.
