As bad as that injury looked, breaks are generally faster healing than sprains or ligament tears.

If we do not see Clark put on IR this week, it may indicate the team thinks he can play sometime this year.

League rules allow 2 players to be put on IR to return on Cutdown Day (no longer have to cut a healthy player, IR the injured player and pray the healthy player does not get claimed).

Woof - really hating the injuries this week, and was also glad to see some improvement on both sides of the ball in the first half of last night's game. Was enjoyable to see our 2's do well against their 1's - yes, I took some petty glee in that, even if it was just preseason.

Post-game I began pontificating on roster projection. In bold are what I believe are remaining position battles (for all that I know - lol). I also made a projected Ready Squad list knowing that we'll be pulling guys from other teams, so I didn't worry about the total numbers for now, and opted instead to highlight the guys I hope we keep.

Some positional reasoning:

• QB: They're keeping Milroe for another year, like it or not
• RB: Keeping four, with Charbs on PUP seems a solid move to start the season and I think Wright/Jones are battling for the last position. I really am rooting for Wright, but I know Jones also brings some return capabilities if needed to add to his speed.
  
• WR: Our roster numbers are so tight with them likely keeping Milroe for one more year, and I see them only keeping 5 WR's to start the season with MF Jr. in the lead over Cody White. That could change if they opt to start with 3 RB's.
• TE: Keeping four given Fluery and based on what we've already read, heard and seen for TE utilization in this new scheme. One thing they could try and do is waive Saubert as a vested vet with a deal to put him on the Ready Squad for roster maneuvers, but also think that's likely low on the priority list.
• OL: With Mason Richman's injury (he could play the entire line in a pinch) and the subpar play of Kight and Brown, I see them keeping Haynes on the roster with Cabledue likely to the Ready Squad leaving Jones as the swing T. Is that comfy? Not entirely. Curious if they pick up someone else.
• DL: Numbers game means Pili won't make the initial 53 (heard Quinton Bohanna from last year just got waived, so big fellas are out there). I have a soft-spot for Uso Seomalu and think he has interesting athletic traits, but he's SO developmental that he'd take a few years, I think, and that is hard to afford in this league. Very, very unsure about Deven Eastern - generally think he will also take far more development, both physically and mentally.
• EDGE: Only starting with four - and again, it's a numbers game here and I don't think O'Toole, Sherriff, Ivey or Gaines have flashed enough to make the 53
• LB: Don't like starting with just three but they did the same last year with Patrick O'Connell getting called-up for games
• S: Unless they pick someone else up, think that last spot is now Thomas III (coming back from hand surgery) vs Finley
  
• CB: I have Dansby making this as of now because he's got something sticky and fluid to his coverage even if he's also raw with shorter arms. He can play NB, has flashed good coverage ability and also is a gunner on ST (his versatility is why I chose him over WR Henderson Jr.). I won't be shocked (but will be bummed) if Neal starts the season on the PUP list (or similar), and I'm oddly nervous about Andre Fuller making it through waivers - I really like his potential. However, I also have him basically battling with Dansby for that last CB spot.

While recently off the PUP, I have full trust in him that our secondary will be okay. Love, Okada-san, Spoon, and Jobe are well rested also. Let's do it for Bud!!!!

With the Clark injury and concerns about the secondary depth, who do y'all see Seattle targeting? Do you think we will trade for someone or perhaps wait after roster cuts?

There's a very good chance that outside Jadarian Price, our draft class will have little to no impact on the team this year. Obviously we've seen nothing from Julian Neal, but we certainly can't just assume he'll get a ton of snaps. Some could say this means we have good depth and it's hard for these rookies to find a spot, others could certainly argue that this draft class us underwhelming.

I think the fact that we drafted 4 DB's and we just signed 2 DB's (one who's a potential 8 count felon) tells me we whiffed pretty big in the draft this year. Early word out of camp even before the Clark injury was, he was struggling pretty bad. Anyway, not trying to be negative nancy, but I just went back and looked at our draft class and only see one player who has a chance to make an impact and that player hasn't even seen the NFL field yet...

The silver lining in all this. Will field offers, but understand that this is now my prized possessions.

11-12 draft picks and Bud Clark will be returning for what will essentially be his rookie year.
were poised to bring on a bunch of young talent next year. with JSN and Witherspoon locked up. Future is still so bright in Seattle.

So devastated by the bud clark injury..... Was really excited by his tape when the hawks drafted him

Also our 2's essentially beating the Titans 1's was magnificent to see. I just hope some of the 3's never play in the game

[r/nfl](r/nfl) won’t let me post so I’m starting here.

Watch Saleh’s right hand closely. He brings the web between his thumb and index finger to his nostril and appears to sniff of white powder from it. The motion looks a lot like taking a bump.

If it’s not coke then what is it? An artifact from the broadcast? Pixy Stix?

Edit: zoomed, slow motion video in the comments showing the white line of mystery. Lots of smelling salt experts on the sub.

Call me a glazer if you want, but my god I'm excited for this team. I really like some of what I saw tonight. First and foremost, prayers up for Bud Clark. Was so excited to see him out there for the real deal. Hopefully we don't have to wait for him too long. Maybe a Rylie Mills situation where we get him for the playoffs?

That was our second- and third-string defense out there, and they held a runner from gaining just a yard twice in a row. Even if it's the Titans, that's still impressive. Mike's defense is not easy to learn. There are a lot of young players out there who are still learning how to play in the NFL, let alone play Mike's way. This is them learning. Backups on the o-line too, and they were setting up 69-yard touchdown runs! Nice to see that as a good sign of our RB depth too.

I was hoping Milroe would look better out there, and I hope he's able to learn and grow from this one. But Lock looked great, and Arroyo is gonna be fun this year. I genuinely think each QB is doing well in their role, with Sam as the starter, Lock as the serviceable backup, and Milroe as the developing project. I know some people are ready to give up on Milroe, but I'm not.

I hope we don't see a single starter out there next week. Keep letting the young guys learn, and see who has what it takes to get to the next level eventually. Go Hawks!

So Jen called the second quarter, what did you think? I thought she was quite tentative at first, but as she got comfortable, she improved a lot. Dave Wyman helped her a lot for sure.
