With Super Bowl LX approaching, the NFL has entered a short lull in on-field action, but roster adjustments and organizational decisions continue to shape the league’s landscape. Injuries, Super Bowl participation, and offseason transitions have prompted multiple Pro Bowl Games replacements, while coaching news continues to emerge across several franchises.

The Pro Bowl Games will kick off on Tuesday, February 3, at 8:00 p.m. ET, and several teams have added late replacements to the rosters. The Cleveland Browns saw rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders added as a replacement, capping a rapid rise from a fifth-round selection to a Pro Bowl appearance. The Chicago Bears added cornerback Nahshon Wright, replacing Philadelphia’s Quinyon Mitchell.

Dallas also received multiple additions, with tight end Jake Ferguson replacing San Francisco’s George Kittle and return specialist KaVontae Turpin stepping in for Seattle’s Rashid Shaheed. Detroit quarterback Jared Goff was added in place of Sam Darnold, while Houston placed cornerback Kamari Lassiter and safety Calen Bullock into the field as replacements for Christian Gonzalez and Jalen Ramsey, respectively. Indianapolis tight end Tyler Warren replaced Brock Bowers, and Jacksonville linebacker Devin Lloyd was named as a replacement for T.J. Watt.
