Puke and rally: Frank Clark beats food poisoning to give Seahawks' pass-rush a boost

SEATTLE -- Frank Clark has some advice: be careful about your turkey burgers, or at least make sure they’re sufficiently cooked before you eat them.

He learned that the hard way.

The Seattle Seahawks’ defensive end said that was to blame for a nasty case of food poisoning that put him out of commission from the mid-week until game day. Clark missed all three practices and was mostly confined to his bed in between a pair of trips to the hospital to replenish the fluids he lost because he was throwing up “non-stop.” He said he dropped about 12 pounds and needed eight IVs.
