It was announced yesterday that the Pittsburgh Steelers have earned yet another Pro Bowler for the 2018 season, with outside linebacker T.J. Watt accepting an invitation to the game as an injury replacement for Houston Texans edge defender Jadeveon Clowney. He is now their eighth player to make it this year, with JuJu Smith-Schuster previously replacing…Antonio Brown. But Brown was named outright, and so retains his Pro Bowler status even though he will not be at the game.
Watt is in his second season after the Steelers made him their first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
