The NFL Pro Bowl Games will begin on Thursday, January 30 with the Skills Show at 7 p.m. The Flag Football game will take place on Sunday, February 2 at 3 p.m. ET.
Although the current Pro Bowl is no longer just a game, the NFL still creates its AFC and NFC rosters, which were finalized on Tuesday. With the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles both in the Super Bowl, their selections won’t be participating, but there are several other players who opted out as well, leaving space for quite a few alternates.
The lone NFL team with no Pro Bowl representatives
Originally when the NFL announced the rosters for the Pro Bowl – before the replacements were announced – there were four teams that had no players selected: the Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints and New York Jets.
Now that the alternates have been announced, three of those teams saw some of their players added to the rosters. Unfortunately for the Tennessee Titans, however, they remain the sole NFL team with no participants in the Pro Bowl.
For the Jets, offensive lineman Quinnen Williams was chosen to replace Chiefs’ Chris Jones. For the Dolphins, Jonnu Smith was chosen to replace Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. And for the Saints, Plum mccoy was chosen to replace Eagles center Cam Jurgens.

What’s even sadder for the Titans is that this year, there were several players who opted out of the Pro Bowl despite not making it to the Super Bowl or having any big injury issues. And still, not enough players are out for a Titans player to have made the cut.
