Bud Clark injury for Seahawks places total pressure on Ty Okada
Rookie Bud Clark suffered a serious injury during the Seattle Seahawks' preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans.
In a preseason Week 2 loss to the Tennessee Titans, the Seattle Seahawks suffered a significant injury blow with rookie safety Bud Clark breaking his ankle during the Titans' first offensive play from scrimmage. Clark, a 64th overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft, was immediately carted off the field and will be sidelined for multiple months, potentially until December.
The Seahawks' head coach, Mike Macdonald, confirmed the injury after the game, stating that Clark broke his ankle. The loss of Clark, who had been impressing the coaching staff since OTAs and was in contention to play a recurring role on the defense, places added pressure on veteran Ty Okada. Okada, who had a pick-six in Friday's joint practice with the Titans, now faces zero competition for his role alongside Julian Love and Nick Emmanwori.
The injury also raises concerns about second-year offensive lineman Mason Richman, who suffered a major, long-term injury.
