DeMarcus Lawrence named a Week 9 Seahawks game captain vs. Commanders

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 (212 yards) 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.

Seahawks make flurry of roster moves as injuries pile up

On Sunday the Seattle Seahawks face off against the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football on NBC, but on Saturday afternoon injuries dictated a bevy of roster moves ahead of the matchup.

The full rundown of the moves include a pair of players landing on injured reserve, two players signed to the active roster to replace them and a pair of practice squad elevations.

Specifically, safety Julian Love and the recently released and even more recently re-signed Eric Saubert were placed on injured reserve as they deal with hamstring and calf injuries, respectively.

Filling the two empty spots those moves created on the active roster are safety Jerrick Reed and fullback Robbie Ouzts. Ouzts returns to the active roster after spending four games and the bye week on injured reserve after suffering a high ankle sprain against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3, while Reed was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster.

Lastly, with both Jake Bobo and Dareke Young out, and Cooper Kupp questionable for the game against the Commanders Sunday, the team elevated both Cody White and Ricky White from the practice squad.

And now we’re on to the gameday inactives late Sunday.
