01 · The NewsWhat Happened

Gregg Bell reported Sunday that Seattle Seahawks rookie safety Bud Clark was carted off during the first quarter of a preseason game at Tennessee. Clark moved toward the Titans ball-carrier and appeared to try to jump over the pile as the runner was tackled. He came up holding his right lower leg and spent several minutes on the field while trainers attended to him. Clark reportedly could not put weight on the leg before being taken away. Nearly the entire Seahawks team came toward the 20-yard line before the cart left the field. Seattle has not announced a diagnosis or recovery timeline.
