Seahawks Rookie Woes and Roster Battles | Seattle Seahawks News

Seattle’s rookie class is off to a rocky start as second-round pick Bud Clark is sidelined for the season after breaking his ankle on debut, and cornerback Julian Neal faces an undisclosed injury that threatens to derail his early development. Both were key contributors expected to step in immediately, forcing veterans Trevon Diggs and Noah Igbinoghene to shoulder more responsibility while limiting Seattle’s ability to evaluate their young cornerbacks. With Neal’s status uncertain, the Seahawks may need to bring in outside help. Meanwhile, other rookies like Michael Dansby and Andre Fuller are battling for roster spots in a crowded room — preseason performances will be make-or-break. The team doesn’t need every rookie to be a star, but they must figure out who can contribute now, who needs time, and who deserves to stay.
