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
Seahawks' Joint Practice With Titans Highlights Key Performances and Team Dynamics NASHVILLE—The Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans conducted their second joint practice of the season on Friday, with head coach Mike Macdonald emphasizing the value of the session despite the physical and mental challenges posed by the heat and humidity. The practice, held in Nashville, marked the third consecutive year under Macdonald’s leadership that the Seahawks have participated in such drills with the Titans. While the session included some minor setbacks, including an injury to receiver Jake Bobo, it also showcased standout performances from several players, offering insight into the team’s progress as the season approaches. Macdonald described the practice as a "great work day" despite the conditions, noting that the heat and humidity were slightly cooler than previous years but still challenging. He acknowledged that some players experienced cramps, but overall, the session provided valuable reps for starters. "We got a lot of reps in," he said, highlighting the controlled environment as a key advantage over preseason games, where starters might only get 20-30 reps. The practice also emphasized the importance of focus and discipline, with players and coaches reminding each other to prioritize execution over excess energy. One of the most notable performances came from rookie running back Jadarian Price, who returned to full participation after missing part of camp with upper-leg soreness. Price, Seattle’s first-round draft pick, made an immediate impact, showcasing his versatility in both passing and running situations. Early in the session, he made an over-the-shoulder catch for a big gain in a seven-on-seven drill.#seattle_seahawks #tennessee_titans #jake_bobo #mike_macdonald #jadarian_price
Seahawks Navigate NFL Draft with Strategic Considerations The Seattle Seahawks face a pivotal draft process as they prepare to select players in the 2025 NFL draft, which begins on Thursday. The team holds four picks, including the 32nd selection in the first round, a spot traditionally awarded to the Super Bowl champion. General Manager John Schneider has emphasized the importance of this draft, noting that the 32nd pick is the last in the first round and offers unique value, particularly because it is the final opportunity to secure a player with a fifth-year option—a benefit exclusive to first-round selections. Schneider has openly discussed the team’s intent to trade down, a strategy that aligns with their limited number of picks. While the Seahawks have historically traded up to acquire high-value players, such as Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf in previous drafts, this year’s approach is expected to focus on moving back to accumulate more selections. Schneider acknowledged the inevitability of trading down, stating, “It’s no secret with us, guys. We have four picks, so we’ll be looking to move back.” The team’s strategy may involve trades with their other picks—64, 96, and 188—as well as potential deals involving players on their loaded roster. The Seahawks’ draft preparation has been thorough, with Schneider hinting at process improvements. He mentioned additional meetings and streamlined collaboration with the coaching staff, aiming to enhance their evaluation methods. “We just did some extra meetings and feel like it’s going to help us in the future,” Schneider said. “We’re out ahead a little bit compared to the past.” The team’s focus on free agency and undrafted free agents has also been a key component of their preparation.#seattle_seahawks #nfl_draft #john_schneider #mike_macdonald #super_bowl_champion
