Seahawks Rookie S Bud Clark Carted Off With Leg Injury in Titans Joint Practice
The second-round pick left in a vacuum splint on the Titans' first snap — the second Seahawk lost to a right-leg injury this week.
Rookie safety was a depth piece anyway; monitor severity before any IDP move.
- Clark hurt on Titans' first play, a 9-yd Pollard run
- Left field in a vacuum splint on his right leg
- 2nd Seahawks right-leg injury this week (Bobo out for year)
- Was competing behind Ty Okada and Julian Love
- 1st-rounder Jadarian Price still out with leg soreness
Seattle's rough week of joint practices got worse. Second-round safety Bud Clark was carted off after going down on the very first play from scrimmage against the Titans — a 9-yard Tony Pollard run — and left the field wearing a vacuum splint on his right leg. No timeline yet, but the splint alone tells you this isn't a tweak they're shrugging off.
It's the second right-leg injury the Seahawks have absorbed in these sessions. Earlier in the week they lost receiver Jake Bobo for the season to a right-leg issue. Bobo was never a fantasy factor — he sits at our rank #481 overall (#191 at his position) and managed just 2 catches for 20 yards and 4 PPR points over 11 games in the 2025 season — but the pattern is ugly, and Seattle's back end is thinning fast.
Clark had been carving out a role behind starters Ty Okada and Julian Love, work that opened up after the team let Coby Bryant walk in free agency. If Clark misses time, Seattle leans on D'Anthony Bell, A.J. Finley and Rodney Thomas — none of whom moves the needle for fantasy purposes.
The one name here with real redraft value is on the other sideline. Pollard, the back whose carry Clark was defending, checks in at our rank #76 overall (#23 among running backs) after a 2025 season that produced 1,082 rushing yards, five rushing scores, 33 catches and 186 PPR points across 17 games. His form trend is trending up, too — he's averaged +4.6 fantasy points above his season mark over his last five games.
Seattle's rookie class hasn't caught many breaks in the preseason. First-round running back Jadarian Price still hasn't suited up as he works back from upper-leg soreness, and he won't play next week either. That's two premium picks dealing with lower-body problems before the games count.
The fantasy read: Clark was a depth-chart competitor, not a Week 1 starter, so this barely dents standard rosters. Deep-league IDP managers who stashed him should sit tight until Seattle clarifies the injury — a splint suggests weeks, not days. Pollard owners have nothing to worry about; if anything, the health of Seattle's secondary is a small point in his favor. WATCH Clark, and don't overreact.
