Pro Bowl Games begin Thursday in Orlando, FL, with a skills competition. Before that, the league finalized rosters for both the AFC and NFC squads. Several players were added to replace those selected to the Pro Bowl,

Local leaders kicked off Pro Bowl Week in Orlando with a humanitarian event. Orlando leaders and NFL officials lead a greening project at Eagle Nest Park on Wednesday. NFL officials said they always give back to the cities where they hold events, as they want to leave a legacy beyond the Pro Bowl.

Right tackle Brian O’Neill will take Johnson’s place, giving the Vikings seven players total. His 80.8 PFF grade was tied as the 12th-highest among all tackles in 2024, and he was credited with only allowing two sacks.

Games include dodgeball, tug-of-war and punting competitions.
