Seahawks Lose Clark, Richman for Months: Survivor Impact

Seahawks pile up preseason losses

Seattle's injury tally keeps climbing before Week 1 even arrives. Safety Bud Clark and offensive lineman Mason Richman are both expected to miss months after getting hurt Sunday night — the latest in what the team is now counting as three significant losses before the season starts.

What it means for your survivor pick

Losing a starting-caliber safety and an offensive lineman for an extended stretch is the kind of quiet damage that doesn't show up in a headline result but chips away at a team's floor — thinner depth on both sides of the ball, and less margin when the games start counting. Until we see how Seattle absorbs these hits, treat the Seahawks as a wait-and-see team rather than an early-season anchor. If you're weighing them either direction, hold the pick if a cleaner favorite is on your board, and keep an eye on their opponent and how the depth chart shakes out.
