Bridgewater, Barr added to Pro Bowl

The Minnesota Vikings entered their offseason with only player selected to the 2016 Pro Bowl – running back Adrian Peterson.

Now that number has ballooned to five after Everson Griffen, Harrison Smith, Anthony Barr and Teddy Bridgewater were named as injury replacements, the final three of those being named on Monday.

Smith was announced as a replacement for Seahawks safety Earl Thomas early afternoon on Monday, but by Monday evening Barr was announced as a replacement for Patriots linebacker Jamie Collins and Bridgewater was named as an injury replacement of Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer.
