Seattle Seahawks preseason injury developments

Overview

The Seattle Seahawks are managing multiple significant injuries sustained during preseason activities. Initially, reports focused on safety Bud Clark suffering a broken ankle during the first defensive snap of a preseason game against the Tennessee Titans. This injury positioned undrafted free agent Ty Okada to potentially secure a starting role.

Subsequent reports expanded the scope of the team’s roster challenges. In addition to Clark being sidelined for multiple months, starting left guard Mason Richman suffered a serious injury during the game’s opening drive. These incidents follow a previous season-ending knee injury to wide receiver Jake Bobo, forcing the coaching staff to adjust rotations ahead of the regular season.

Following these developments, the Seahawks officially placed Clark and Richman on injured reserve. Clark, a second-round pick from TCU, suffered a broken right ankle, while Richman sustained a major long-term injury to his right leg. Wide receiver Jake Bobo has also been placed on injured reserve following his knee injury sustained during a joint practice with the Titans. These moves effectively end the 2026 seasons for Clark and Richman.

To address these vacancies, the team has signed tackle Derrick Graham, safety Tysheem Johnson, and running back Justin Jones. Head coach Mike Macdonald described the sequence of injuries as a “heartbreaker” for the team.
