Indianapolis Colts starting left guard Quenton Nelson has pulled out of playing in the 2022 Pro Bowl because of injury—as the Tennessee Titans announced that fellow guard Rodger Saffold will be replacing him on the AFC’s roster during the Sunday, February 6, NFL all-star game in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The 4x NFL Pro Bowler battled through injuries all season—including a high ankle sprain that cost him three games (and was re-aggravated late in the season), but also a listed back, knee, and toe injury at various times—as well as a COVID-19 illness.
