Beau Stephens becomes important to Seahawks after Mason Richman injury

Rookie blocker Beau Stephens becomes important to the Seattle Seahawks after the Mason Richman injury.

The Seattle Seahawks suffered a double setback to their rookie and sophomore roster in the Week 2 preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans. Safety Bud Clark and guard Mason Richman both suffered season-ending injuries. Richman's injury is particularly significant, as he was a key depth option for the team. With Richman on season-ending IR, rookie guard Beau Stephens becomes even more crucial to the team's success.

The Seahawks will rely on Grey Zabel and Anthony Bradford for most of the season, but Stephens and Christian Haynes will now need to step up and fill the void left by Richman.
