Seahawks Open Preseason Week 2 With Two Explosive First-Quarter Touchdowns

A pair of early big plays put Seattle ahead 16-9 at halftime, prompting fresh roster evaluations, highlighting special-teams miscues, revealing a developing injury in the secondary.

Overview

  • Drew Lock hit tight end Elijah Arroyo for a 36-yard touchdown and, on the next drive, Jacardia Wright broke loose for a 69-yard rushing score to set the tone in the first quarter on Sunday.
  • Seattle led 16-9 at halftime after a missed PAT by Jason Myers kept Wright’s touchdown to 13 points and Myers later recovered with a 48-yard field goal.
  • Players on the Seahawks’ bench were flagged with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty for running off the sideline to celebrate Wright’s long run.
  • Rookie safety Bud Clark was carted off in an air cast after the first defensive snap and his condition was reported as developing and being monitored.
  • Coaches and evaluators will weigh these performances in roster decisions, with Wright and Arroyo boosting their cases while special-teams miscues and Clark’s injury raise depth and reliability questions ahead of final cuts.
