D-Law joins two other veterans as captains for Seattle in this NFC matchup
The Seattle Seahawks will seek to maintain their spot atop the NFC West standings in a key Week 9 primetime road showdown on Sunday night. Both the Hawks, as well as their foes, the Commanders, have injuries to key players coming into this one… but such is life over the course of an NFL season.
Seattle has elected their three captains to go into battle in Landover, Maryland. Tight end A.J. Barner, outside linebacker/defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence and fullback Brady Russell will serve as game captains against a Washington team with some familiar faces. Barner will set a new career-high in touchdown catches in a season with his next, which would bring his total to five. He’s tied with JSN for most receiving scores and is the Seahawks’ third leading receiver in the 2025 campaign. A.J. can be counted on to keep ascending in his young career. DeMarcus Lawrence seems to be heating up, recording 3 sacks in Seattle’s last two games. His edge-setting in the run game and pass rush skills should come in handy against a Commanders team that returns dual-threat QB, Jayden Daniels from injury. This is Lawrence’s first time as a captain for the Seahawks. Fingers crossed for some magic against a team he used to see twice a year when he was with the Dallas Cowboys. Brady Russell is a core special teams player who has collected 9 tackles while moonlighting as a fullback in Seattle’s offense.
