Bobo will be making his season debut as a captain, while everyone else will each be wearing the \u201cC\u201d for the second time this year. All four of the Seahawks\u2019 Week 18 game captains have ties to either the 49ers organization or to the state of California in general.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Bobo, this week\u2019s newcomer to the captaincy, will be taking on an elevated role this week with Rasheed Shaheed being designated as questionable and Cody White and Tory Horton unavailable due to injury. The third-year receiver played one season at UCLA in 2022 before being signed to the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent (UFA) in 2023. The regular season finale will be Bobo\u2019s 11th appearance this season, as well as his fourth in five games. More Bobo!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Williams, who was also one of Seattle\u2019s captains vs. the Niners back in Week 1, is originally from California. Born in Bakersfield, Williams also lived in Sacramento for a short time before playing three seasons at USC from 2012 to 2014. The 31-year-old defensive tackle was named to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fieldgulls.com\/seattle-seahawks-news\/158434\/2026-pro-bowl-games-seahawks-tie-nfl-lead-6-players-selected\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his second consecutive Pro Bowl roster<\/a> and is currently tied with Byron Murphy II for the team lead in sacks (7.0).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Saubert, one of Seattle\u2019s Week 4 captains, played one season for San Francisco in 2024, starting in three of the team\u2019s 17 games and finishing with 97 receiving yards on the year. The Seahawks\u2019 TE2 has made an impact since his return from injury, hauling in the game-winning two-point conversion in the team\u2019s overtime victory against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Seahawks will battle the 49ers for the NFC West division title and the NFC\u2019s No. 1 seed at Santa Clara\u2019s Levi\u2019s Stadium at 5:00 p.m. PT on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Thursday, the Seattle Seahawks announced their selection of Week 18 game captains ahead of Saturday\u2019s NFC West&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":487237,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[1232,4840,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-487236","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-seattle-seahawks-news","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115825913685415134","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487236"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487236\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
