- Brady Henderson is a reporter for NFL Nation and covers the Seattle Seahawks for ESPN. He joined ESPN in 2017 after covering the team for Seattle Sports 710-AM.
Seahawks rookie safety Bud Clark broke his right ankle in Sunday night's 19-16 preseason loss to the Titans and will be out for "multiple months," coach Mike Macdonald told reporters after the game.
Clark carted off the field after suffering the injury at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. Seattle's second-round pick went down on the first defensive play. He was helped onto the injury cart after an air cast was placed on his right leg.
Clark has mostly worked with the Seahawks' second-team defense this summer but got the start Sunday as Macdonald rested all of Seattle's usual starters on both sides of the ball.
Mason Richman, who started at left guard, went down on the opening drive, and Macdonald told reporters that he also suffered a major, long-term injury.
During a joint practice against the Titans on Friday, Seattle lost wide receiver Jake Bobo to a season-ending knee injury.
"We had three heartbreakers this week, which is tough," Macdonald said.
