Seahawks name Super Bowl 2026 captains as kickoff nears in San Francisco
With Super Bowl 60 less than 48 hours away, the Seahawks announced their team captains and received positive injury news during practice in San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO - Seattle Seahawks rookie safety Nick Emmanwori was a full participant in Friday's practice, according to a pool report.
Emmanwori, who injured his ankle during Wednesday's practice at San Jose State University ahead of Seattle facing New England in the Super Bowl, joined the defensive backs in drills Friday, according to a pool report.

Emmanwori did not practice on Thursday. He was listed as a full participant during Friday's practice on the Seahawks' injury report.
"No designation for Nick," coach Mike Macdonald said in a statement. "Turns out he's alive."
On Thursday, Emmanwori explained he was injured while defending a pass on a routine out route during Wednesday's practice. When he landed, he rolled his ankle on the grass. He walked off the field on his own, and Emmanwori said he expected to play on Sunday.
"It just kind of caught me off guard," Emmanwori said Thursday. "Nobody really wants to get hurt or banged up during the Super Bowl week or any week like that. It just kind of caught me off guard."
Emmanwori, a second-round draft pick, appeared in 14 games during the regular season and had 81 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks, one interception and 11 pass breakups in the regular season. During the playoffs, Emmanwori has a fumble recovery and four passes defensed, including three in the NFC championship game.
