NFL rosters are officially set at 53, so now it’s time for teams to name their captains for the 2025 season.
Most teams choose captains for the entire season, although there are a few teams that do it on a weekly basis.
The Chiefs, Commanders, Ravens and Seahawks have not named captains under their current head coaches. On the other hand, the Bills named two players, while some teams have as many as eight.
Here’s the full list, as of Sept. 1.
