Even when he is away from the Seattle Seahawks, linebacker Bobby Wagner is always doing something good for those around him.
On Wednesday, Wagner announced during Washington Commanders minicamp that he is partnering with Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C. to expand the work of the Phenia Mae fund in support of the hospital’s pediatric stroke program. Wagner initially launched the fund back in 2022 at LA’s Cedars-Sinai and Kaiser Permanente hospitals ahead of his lone season with the Los Angeles Rams.

Since then, Wagner has continued his work with the fund, establishing a partnership with Virginia Mason Franciscan Health in Tacoma, WA, during his second stint with Seattle. In recognition of his work, the Seahawks named Wagner as their nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award for the 2023 season.
Wagner will be entering his 14th NFL season and his second season with Washington. Seattle will travel to Northwest Stadium to face Wagner and the Commanders for a Sunday Night Football matchup during Week 9 of the 2025 campaign.
