After Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell suffered a groin injury Sunday, San Diego Chargers running back Melvin Gordon will replace him on the AFC Pro Bowl roster.

Brown's teammate Antonio Brown will also not attend the Pro Bowl as Denver Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas will take his spot. This will be Thomas' fourth career appearance; he will join five teammates in Orlando, including fellow receiver Emmanuel Sanders.

Gordon finished the season with 997 rushing yards and 10 scores through 13 games played, adding 419 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns through the air. The second-year back will join teammate Casey Hayward in Orlando in his first career Pro Bowl appearance.
