Seattle Seahawks Place Two on IR, Sign Three New Players The Seattle Seahawks made several roster adjustments on Tuesday, placing rookie safety Bud Clark and second-year offensive lineman Mason Richman on injured reserve due to injuries sustained during their preseason matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The moves effectively end the seasons for both players, while the team also signed three new players to fill open spots on their 90-man roster. The decisions came after the Seahawks’ 19-16 preseason loss to the Titans on August 23, 2026, which saw multiple key players sidelined. Clark, a second-round draft pick in 2026, suffered a broken ankle on the Seahawks’ first defensive snap of the game. He was carted off the field during the contest, marking a significant setback for the young safety. The injury occurred just days after Clark made his preseason debut against the Dallas Cowboys on August 15, where he recorded three tackles. Over his college career at TCU, Clark totaled 15 interceptions, including two pick-sixes, across 61 games. His inclusion on the Seahawks’ defensive back rotation was anticipated following his standout performance in college. Richman, a seventh-round pick from Iowa in 2025, also sustained a serious injury during the game. The backup offensive lineman was involved in Seattle’s opening touchdown drive, which led to his exit. Prior to the injury, Richman had appeared in just two games for the Seahawks in 2025, logging one offensive snap and 11 special teams snaps. His limited playing time highlighted the challenges he faced in securing a roster spot. In addition to the IR placements, the Seahawks signed offensive tackle Derrick Graham, safety Tysheem Johnson, and running back Justin Jones to bolster their roster.#seattle_seahawks #tennessee_titans #bud_clark #mason_richman #derrick_graham
Seahawks Place Bud Clark and Mason Richman on Season-Ending Injured Reserve The Seattle Seahawks announced on Tuesday that safety Bud Clark and offensive lineman Mason Richman will miss the 2026 season after being placed on injured reserve. Both players sustained injuries during the first quarter of the team’s preseason game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in Nashville. Clark, a rookie second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, broke his ankle on the first defensive play of the game. Richman, a 2025 seventh-round selection, injured his right leg during the opening series while playing left guard. Coach Mike Macdonald provided updates on the players’ conditions postgame, stating that Clark would miss “multiple months” of action and that Richman’s injury was “major,” likely sidelining him for the entire season. The decision to place both players on injured reserve came before the July 25 deadline for teams to trim their rosters to 53 players, meaning they will not be eligible to return for the 2026 season. Clark had been running with the second-team defense and was expected to challenge starting safety Ty Okada for the starting role opposite Julian Love. Richman, a versatile backup, had the ability to play tackle, guard, and center, making him a valuable depth option. Macdonald expressed disappointment over the injuries, calling the players “great football players” with “great futures” and emphasizing the emotional toll of losing them. “It’s a heartbreaker, honestly,” he said, noting the team had already dealt with three heartbreakers during the week. The Seahawks’ trip to Nashville proved costly beyond Clark and Richman. Wide receiver Jake Bobo also suffered a season-ending knee injury during a joint practice with the Titans on Friday.#seattle_seahawks #tennessee_titans #mike_macdonald #bud_clark #mason_richman
Seahawks Sign Three Free Agents, Place Bud Clark & Mason Richman On Injured Reserve The Seattle Seahawks placed safety Bud Clark and offensive lineman Mason Richman on injured reserve Tuesday, two days after both sustained significant injuries during the team’s preseason game against the Tennessee Titans. The moves came as the Seahawks addressed three open spots on their 90-man roster, which had expanded following the waiver of running back Anthony Hankerson on Monday. The team signed tackle Derrick Graham, safety Tysheem Johnson, and running back Justin Jones to fill the vacancies. Clark, a second-round draft pick in 2026, broke his ankle on Seattle’s first defensive snap of the game. Richman, a 2025 draft selection, limped off the field in the first quarter with a serious injury that could sideline him for an extended period. Their injuries joined a list of setbacks from the team’s preseason trip to Nashville, as receiver Jake Bobo was also placed on injured reserve earlier in the week due to a knee injury sustained during a joint practice with the Titans. Coach Mike Macdonald acknowledged the severity of the injuries, stating, “We had two really tough injuries today. Bud has a broken ankle to my knowledge, the severity I'm not sure, but he's going to be out multiple months. Then we're going to try to figure out what's on with Mason, but we also think that's a major injury, a long-term injury. Two guys that we love that play our style of ball that are our type of guys. Teammates love them, great teammates, great guys, great football players, they have great futures. It's a heartbreaker, honestly. We got three heartbreakers this weekend, which is tough.#seattle_seahawks #tennessee_titans #mike_macdonald #bud_clark #mason_richman
