And then there were two.
Left tackle Joe Staley will join fullback Kyle Juszczyk as the 49ers’ representatives at the Pro Bowl in Orlando on Sunday.
On Monday, Staley was named to the Pro Bowl as an alternate. He will replace Dallas’ Tyron Smith, who is not playing because of an injury. There is also an opening on the NFC team because Philadelphia tackle Lane Johnson will miss the all-star game with the Eagles headed to the Super Bowl.
Staley will make his sixth Pro Bowl appearance, and first as an alternate. He is one of 11 players in franchise history to be selected to five straight Pro Bowls (2011-15) and one of two offensive linemen with such a streak (Guy McIntyre).
