The Seattle Seahawks are looking for a new safety following Bud Clark's season-ending ankle injury during a preseason game against the Tennessee Titans. Clark suffered the injury on his first defensive snap and has since been placed on injured reserve. Three potential replacements have been identified: Quandre Diggs, Donovan Wilson, and Harrison Smith. Diggs is noted for his familiarity with the Seahawks' system after recent time with the team, while Wilson previously worked with Seattle's defensive coordinator. Smith, a seasoned player, remains unsigned after his release from the Vikings earlier this year.
