Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans, New York Giants rookie receiver Malik Nabers, Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson and New Orleans Saints center Erik McCoy were added to this week's Pro Bowl Games, the NFL announced Monday.
Evans, who is going to his sixth career Pro Bowl, replaces the Dallas Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb, while Nabers -- originally a second alternate -- takes the place of the Detroit Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown. Both Lamb and St. Brown are out due to injury.
Robinson replaces the Philadelphia Eagles' Saquon Barkley, who is going to Super Bowl LIX. McCoy replaces Barkley's teammate, Cam Jurgens.
The Pro Bowl Games will take place on Thursday (7-8:30 p.m. ET) and Sunday (3-6 p.m. ET) in Orlando, Fla.
Evans, 31, caught 74 passes for 1,004 yards and 11 TDs in 14 games this season, his 11th in the NFL. He tied Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice with his 11th consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season.
Nabers, 21, missed two early-season games with a concussion but went on to set a franchise record with 109 receptions, also the most by a rookie wide receiver in NFL history. He totaled 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns.
Robinson, who turns 23 on Thursday, rushed for 1,456 yards and 14 touchdowns and started all 17 games in his second NFL season. He finished fourth in the NFL with 1,887 yards from scrimmage.
McCoy, 27, heads to the Pro Bowl Games for the second straight year. He dealt with multiple injuries this season but his impact was clear: New Orleans was 4-3 with him snapping the ball and 1-9 without him.
