Seahawks tight end AJ Barner expects to be ready for training camp this summer following two offseason surgeries.

Barner, 24, started every game last season and caught a touchdown in Seattle's Super Bowl LX victory against the New England Patriots.

The former fourth-round draft pick played through a variety of injuries -- hip, elbow, shoulder, knee, ankle and calf -- throughout the campaign, but did not specify which ailments led to his surgeries.

'I'm going to feel much better, and I'm already feeling much better, and I think that's where I'll see strides,' Barner said, per the team's website. 'I'm feeling good, and I'm chomping at the bit trying to get back out there.'

Barner caught 52 passes for 519 yards and six TDs in 17 regular-season games and added six catches for 67 yards and a score in three playoff wins.

He has 82 receptions for 764 yards and 10 touchdowns in 34 games (23 starts) since Seattle drafted him in 2024 out of Michigan.
