Seahawks Rookie Safety Bud Clark Out Multiple Months with Broken Ankle

PUBLISHED Aug 24, 2026, 2:27 PM ET

Seattle Seahawks rookie safety Bud Clark will miss “multiple months” after breaking his right ankle in Sunday night’s 19-16 preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed the injury postgame, stating Clark is out for “multiple months”. Clark, the No. 64 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft out of TCU, was injured on Seattle’s first defensive play and carted off with an air cast. He recorded 15 interceptions in 61 college games. Macdonald called the rash of injuries “a heartbreaker” after also losing offensive lineman Mason Richman to a long-term injury in the same game and wide receiver Jake Bobo to a season-ending knee injury during Friday’s joint practice. Clark had been competing for a starting role alongside Ty Okada.
