Former TCU safety Bud Clark suffers broken ankle during preseason game with Seattle Seahawks

Bud Clark is a safety, a position with minimal fantasy relevance except in deep IDP (individual defensive player) formats. A broken ankle likely ends his rookie season and threatens his path to earning a defensive role in Seattle, but this has essentially zero impact on standard or PPR fantasy football lineups since safeties aren't rostered in those formats. In IDP leagues, this is a clear drop/avoid situation — he was already a long-shot to see significant snaps as a rookie safety, and now he'll spend the year on IR, making him undraftable and irrelevant for redraft IDP purposes. Dynasty IDP players should note the setback but shouldn't panic-drop him from long-term stashes if roster space allows, as safeties can still develop after injury years.
