Seahawks News: Family Reunion Brewing For Saturday's Bears Game

In this Seahawks news and rumors update, Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett talks to two people every day: his wife, and his brother Martellus.

Michael won't have to worry about picking up the phone on Friday, however, as he will be lining up against the now-Chicago Bears tight end during a preseason contest at CenturyLink Field

Per Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, "by Michael Bennett’s reckoning, the game will be the fourth time the two have played against each other in the NFL." The last time the two met in head-to-head competition was two years ago when Michael played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Martellus was with the New York Giants.

Michael didn't pick up a tackle of Martellus during that game - although Michael has had to  hit his brother before on the football field.

“I just tackle him, get him down the right way,” he stated, laughing, via Condotta's article on Thursday. “I’ve got my niece to look after.”

Don't get Michael wrong - he's excited to line up against his brother on Friday.

“It’s going to be fun," he stated. "It’s one of those things where you are going against your brother. You want to whup him. You want to beat him."

"And hopefully nobody gets hurt."
