Gerald McCoy will have company at the Pro Bowl after all.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Kwon Alexander is headed to his first NFL all-star game, an honor he earned in just his third season. The NFL revealed on Tuesday that Alexander, previously identified as a Pro Bowl alternate, had been added to the NFC roster to replace Seattle's Bobby Wagner, who will miss the game due to injury.
The 2018 Pro Bowl is scheduled for Sunday, January 28 at Camping World Stadium after a week of practice and other activities in Orlando.
Alexander joins McCoy as Buccaneer representatives in the all-star game, with the latter earning a sixth consecutive selection.
