Kern was previously voted a captain in 2020.
It marks the first captaincy selection for Simmons, who is heading into his third NFL season.
"They represent the team, and who we want to be, and help carry that message from me, the coaching staff, and into the locker room," Vrabel said of the captains. "There's no restrictions on leadership. Guys are going to be able to lead whether we name them a captain, or they were voted by their teammates as captains, that is critical to understand."
