Three Redskins were named to the Pro Bowl back in December, but only one will actually play in Sunday’s exhibition in Orlando, Florida.
Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan will be the Redskins’ sole representative, as guard Brandon Scherff and tackle Trent Williams withdrew because of injuries. Scherff dealt with lingering knee pain throughout the year, and Williams had knee realignment surgery on Dec. 29.
Kerrigan’s appearance, by all accounts, is well-deserved. For the second straight year, he finished with double digit sacks, recording 13 this season. He was a sack away from breaking his career high.
Kerrigan did not play in last year’s Pro Bowl because of an injury, but he is good to go this year.
