The NFL has discontinued the Pro Bowl game after 75 years but will continue to honor Pro Bowl roster selections.
The NFL announced the cancellation of the Pro Bowl game, ending a tradition that began in 1951. Players will still be named Pro Bowlers through the existing voting process among players, coaches, and fans. The league stated the selection will carry greater meaning without a corresponding game, and no replacement selections will be made for injured players or Super Bowl participants.
