The Seattle Seahawks fell to the Tennessee Titans 19-16 in their second preseason contest, though the scoreline obscured what appeared to be a dominant first-half performance from Seattle’s backup players against Tennessee’s starters. The game, however, was overshadowed by significant injuries that will impact the roster moving forward, particularly the loss of second-round safety Bud Clark, who suffered a broken ankle on the opening defensive play.
Several Seahawks reserves delivered standout performances despite the loss. Quarterback Drew Lock demonstrated improved accuracy compared to the previous week, completing 12 of 14 attempts for 103 yards and a touchdown. Running back Jacardia Wright, returning from injury, burst through Tennessee’s defense for a 69-yard touchdown run, while tight end Elijah Arroyo caught a 36-yard touchdown pass and showed promise throughout the evening. Defensive edge rusher Connor O’Toole recorded a sack and key third-down stop, while linebackers Chazz Surratt and Chris Paul Jr. made notable defensive contributions.
The injury report extended beyond Clark, as backup offensive lineman Mason Richman suffered a significant knee injury that is expected to sideline him for the season. Backup quarterback Jalen Milroe struggled considerably, throwing two interceptions and completing just six of 11 pass attempts for 52 yards. Kicker Jason Myers also raised concerns by missing three kicks that drifted right, a potential red flag heading into the final preseason week against Kansas City.
With a short week ahead before the preseason finale Friday at 5 p.m. PT, the Seahawks face difficult roster decisions as they prepare for the regular season.
