(WBEN/AP) - Buffalo Bills running back James Cook and center Connor McGovern are heading to this week’s Pro Bowl in a replacement capacity, the team announced Tuesday.
Cook fills the spot left open by Baltimore’s Derrick Henry, who finished second in the NFL with an AFC-leading 1,921 yards rushing. Cook had 1,009 yards rushing with 16 touchdowns, tying Henry and Detroit’s Jahmyr Gibbs for the league lead.
McGovern replaces Kansas City center Creed Humphrey, with the Chiefs advancing to play Philadelphia in the Super Bowl on Feb. 9 after beating Buffalo on Sunday.
Cook will be making his second Pro Bowl appearance, while it’s a first for McGovern, who took over as the Bills center after Mitch Morse was cut in March.
In another roster change, Pittsburgh Steelers guard Isaac Seumalo will take over for Kansas City's Trey Smith. This will be the first Pro Bowl appearance for Seumalo.
Three quarterbacks — New England Patriots rookie Drake Maye, Pittsburgh's Russell Wilson and Tampa Bay's Baker Mayfield — were added to the Pro Bowl roster as replacements Tuesday.
The Pro Bowl Games run Thursday through Sunday in Orlando, Florida, and include skills competitions and a flag football game.
