NFL – Pro Bowl: replacements confirmed – Drake Maye and Russell Wilson replace Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson

After the Conference Championship Games, the NFL has now announced the replacements for the Pro Bowl. There will be two changes at the quarterback position.

Before the Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL, the Pro Bowl Games will take place.

From Thursday to Sunday, the best players from the AFC and NFC will compete in various mini-games in Orlando. The rosters for this were already announced about three weeks ago, but have now been finalized.

As every year, the players of the two Super Bowl participants will not be competing. In addition, there were also one or two replacements for an injured star.

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and Russell Wilson of the Pittsburgh Steelers replace Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who both have wrist injuries.

Mike Evans replaces the ailing Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver is starting in the Pro Bowl for the sixth time, tying the franchise record held by fullback Mike Alstott.

Also joining him is rookie receiver Malik Nabers of the New York Giants for German NFL star Amon-Ra St. Brown, who will miss out due to injury. Falcons star Bijan Robinson, who replaces Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, is also celebrating his debut.
