2016 NFL Pro Bowl: Updated roster loaded with replacements
The NFL Pro Bowl might be in need of a name change this year.
Given that so many players selected as NFL All-Stars have decided to skip Sunday's proceedings, perhaps 'The Replacement Bowl' is more appropriate.
With five days until kickoff, nearly half of the 86 players originally voted into the NFL's annual all-star game have already bowed out with the possibility of more taking a pass on the free trip to Honolulu this week.
Whether it is due to Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers players taking part in Super Bowl 50, players being injured or unwilling to risk injury in an exhibition game, this year's Pro Bowl will have a decidedly different feel.
