2026 Pro Bowl Games Final Rosters: Key QB Changes, Cowboys Additions, and Major NFL Stars Opting Out

Posted on January 31, 2026January 31, 2026 by Santiago Leon

The NFL has finalized the 2026 Pro Bowl Games rosters, including injury replacements, ahead of Tuesday night’s AFC vs. NFC flag football game.

On the NFC side, quarterbacks Jared Goff and Jalen Hurts replace Matthew Stafford and Sam Darnold. The Dallas Cowboys gained multiple additions, with Jake Ferguson, CeeDee Lamb, and KaVontae Turpin joining the roster. Defensively, Keisean Nixon and Nahshon Wright were added, while several notable players—including Micah Parsons, Tristan Wirfs, Jalen Carter, and Leonard Williams—will not participate and were not replaced.

The AFC roster also saw quarterback changes, with Joe Flacco and Shedeur Sanders stepping in for Drake Maye and Josh Allen. Tee Higgins replaces Zay Flowers, and tight ends Tyler Warren and Dalton Kincaid sub in for Brock Bowers and Travis Kelce. On defense, Devin Lloyd, Kamari Lassiter, and Calen Bullock were added, while stars like Myles Garrett, Maxx Crosby, Chris Jones, and Quenton Nelson will not play and were not replaced.

Pro Bowl rosters are determined by a mix of fan, player, and coach voting. The Pro Bowl Games begin Tuesday at 8:15 p.m. ET, featuring skills competitions and the AFC–NFC flag football matchup. Full rosters are available on NFL.com.
