Seattle Seahawks safety Bud Clark suffered a broken ankle during a preseason game against the Tennessee Titans on August 23, 2026. His injury significantly improves Ty Okada's position as a starter, as he was already leading the competition for the safety job. Clark's absence requires Seattle to reassess its safety depth, as head coach Mike Macdonald indicated a plan to reevaluate the roster. Other players like A.J. Finley and D’Anthony Bell could see increased opportunities in Clark's place as the Seahawks finalize their secondary ahead of the regular season.
