Seahawks fall 19-16 to Titans in preseason, lose rookie safety to broken ankle
Seattle was defeated by Tennessee 19-16 in a preseason matchup, while rookie safety Bud Clark suffered a broken ankle that will sideline him for months.
Seattle lost its second preseason game, falling 19-16 to the Tennessee Titans on the road. The Seahawks built an early 16-3 lead in the first quarter, highlighted by quarterback Drew Lock's 102 passing yards and a touchdown pass to tight end Elijah Arroyo. Backup quarterback Jalen Milroe replaced Lock in the second half but was unable to generate scoring, completing few passes and being sacked twice.
Defensively, Seattle’s linebackers Chazz Surratt and Chris Paul Jr. made several key stops, but the Titans rallied in the second half, scoring a go-ahead touchdown on a two-yard run by D’Ernest Johnson with 5:45 left. A late interception by Titans safety Derrick Canteen sealed the win.
The game also resulted in injuries to two Seattle players. Rookie safety Bud Clark sustained a broken ankle in the first half and will miss several months, while offensive lineman Mason Richman suffered an undisclosed injury that also places him on the sidelines.
Seattle will conclude its preseason schedule next week against the Kansas City Chiefs.
