Overview
- Bud Clark suffered a broken right ankle on the first defensive snap of the preseason game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday and was carted off the field before the team placed him on injured reserve.
- Second‑year guard Mason Richman was also moved to injured reserve in the same transaction, ruling him out for the season as the club confirmed roster changes on Aug. 25.
- Seattle signed multiple players to fill the open roster spots, including running back Justin Jones, safety Tysheem Johnson, and offensive tackle Derrick Graham, to plug immediate depth gaps.
- Clark, a 2026 second‑round pick out of TCU who had 15 college interceptions and had been rising on the depth chart during training camp, will miss the entire rookie year and pause the team’s short‑term development plan at safety.
- The moves compress Seattle’s final preseason evaluations and force the front office and coaches to finalize rotation plans and search for additional depth before the regular season begins.
