Especially, if that is where this injury occurred as was reported. It's a game that almost no one cares about and has cost some players their career's aka Robert Edwards.
Imo, they should just do like they do in college football. You name them (All Americans in college) Pro Bowlers and give them a bonus for it. There's a reason that many of the big name guys in the NFL mysteriously come down with injuries and avoid these meaningless and worthless games.
It was one thing when it came with a free trip to Hawaii, but now it's just a worthless business risk to teams and their multi-million dollar investments.
Screw the PB! It should be done away with.
When you make the Pro Bowl as the 17th alternate it loses the prestige it once carried.
