Rookie safety Bud Clark, one of our promising second-round picks from April, had to be carted off the field on Sunday during the preseason game against the Tennessee Titans. This is exactly what you don’t want to see, especially from a young guy trying to make his mark in the league.
The Blow on the Field
It was an apparent right leg injury that forced the 24-year-old TCU product out of the game. You could feel the air go out of the stadium, man. Every play in preseason matters for these rookies, and seeing Clark get hurt like that, unable to put weight on it, just puts a knot in your stomach. We were all hyped to see what he’d bring to the defense this year. Losing a second-round pick, someone we invested in heavily back in April, to what looked like a serious injury, is a huge concern.
Waiting for Answers in the Emerald City
Right now, the big question hanging over the Emerald City is what the severity of this injury really is. The original report said that more information and analysis are coming soon, which means we’re all left just waiting and hoping. For a second-round pick like Clark, whose future with the Hawks is just beginning, this kind of setback could be huge for his development and for our defensive plans. We need him healthy and ready to go.
We’re holding our breath for updates. Hopefully, this apparent right leg injury isn’t as bad as it looked, and Bud Clark will be back on the field fighting for his spot very soon. The whole 12s community is pulling for you, Bud!
