Quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry have both dropped out of the league’s weeklong skills competitions and flag football game in Orlando, Florida. Jackson has been replaced by New England Patriots rookie Drake Maye, while Buffalo Bills running back James Cook will take Henry’s spot.
Lamar Jackson will not be participating in the Pro Bowl Games and will be replaced by rookie New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. The AFC's three quarterbacks at the Pro Bowl will now be the Bengals' Joe Burrow, Steelers' Russell Wilson (replacing the Bills' Josh Allen), and Maye.
The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Maye is the first Patriots quarterback to make the Pro Bowl since 2022, when Mac Jones made the game as an alternate during his rookie season. Jones went 12-for-16 in the game for 112 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.
Two new quarterbacks were added to the Pro Bowl on Tuesday as replacements. Both Drake Maye and Russell Wilson are headed to the Pro Bowl. They will be replacing Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, who won’t be making the trip to Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
