Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen speaks during a news conference after an NFL football game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Sunday, Dec. 7, 2025, in Orchard Park, N.Y.

The Buffalo Bills announced Tuesday six players will be designated captains for the 2026 season.

Quarterback Josh Allen and linebacker Terrel Bernard — the two lone captains each of the past two seasons — will retain their "C" patches under new coach Joe Brady.

Joining them are tight end Dawson Knox, outside linebacker Bradley Chubb, long snapper Reid Ferguson, and defensive back/special teams specialist Sam Franklin, Jr.

The Bills begin their season Sunday, Sept. 13 on the road against the Houston Texans.
