Vikings to consider for Pro Bowl replacements

Harrison Smith is likely to be added to the Pro Bowl and other Vikings could be considered.

The Minnesota Vikings were disappointed last month when only one player – running back Adrian Peterson – was named to the Pro Bowl. That may change this week.

Everson Griffen was already announced as a Pro Bowl replacement player for J.J. Watt, who was injured during Houston’s playoff loss to Kansas City in the wild card round of the playoffs. But after the conference championship games at least 14 more players will need to be replaced for next Sunday’s Pro Bowl in Hawaii.
