Russell Wilson among Broncos’ 5 team captains for 2022 season

No surprise — Russell Wilson is among the Denver Broncos’ five team captains for the 2022 NFL season, the team announced Tuesday.

The team’s captains were voted on by players, with Wilson joined by wide receiver Courtland Sutton as an offensive captain.

On defense, safety Justin Simmons and outside linebacker Bradley Chubb were also voted captains. And on special teams, kicker Brandon McManus will serve as the team’s fifth captain.

Sutton, Simmons and McManus are returning captains. Last year, that trio was joined by ex-quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (offense), ex-outside linebacker Von Miller (defense) and safety Kareem Jackson as the team’s six captains in 2021.

Wilson, Sutton, Simmons, Chubb and McManus will now lead Denver into the 2022 season, starting with a Monday Night Football showdown with the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 12. That contest will mark Wilson’s first return to Seattle after he was traded to the Broncos earlier this offseason.
