Seahawk Michael Bennett added to 2018 Pro Bowl roster

Veteran Seahawks defesnive end Michael Bennett was added to the Pro Bowl roster for the NFC on Monday, replacing Everson Griffen of Minnesota, who pulled out of the game due to injury.

It will be the third straight year Bennett has taken part in the game and his addition gives Seattle six official Pro Bowlers, though only five are expected to play. Middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, who was an initial selection, pulled out of the game recently due to his hamstring injury that ailed him the second half of the 2017 season.

Other Seahawks expected to play alongside Bennett are safety Earl Thomas, quarterback Russell Wilson, tight end Jimmy Graham and receiver Doug Baldwin.
