Seattle Seahawks face safety search after Bud Clark injury
Summary

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.

Three potential replacements have been identified: Quandre Diggs, Donovan Wilson, and Harrison Smith.
