Five Eagles Named to Pro Bowl Games
Five Philadelphia Eagles players were named to the 2026 Pro Bowl roster on Tuesday.
LB Zack Baun, DT Jalen Carter, CB Cooper DeJean, C Cam Jurgens, and CB Quinyon Mitchell all received the Pro Bowl honors this season, according to the announcement by the NFL.
Over the course of November and December, the NFL conducted polls of fans, players, and coaches to create the rosters for the AFC and NFC teams. Players that make the roster will participate in the Pro Bowl flag football game on February 3, along with other competitions ahead of the Pro Bowl. This year’s team coaches will be Hall of Famers Jerry Rice for the NFC and Steve Young for the AFC.
This is the first Pro Bowl selection for DeJean and Mitchell in their careers.
The Pro Bowl has taken on various forms over the years, more recently being a skill competition and flag football game between all star players from the AFC and NFC. In years past, the Pro Bowl was played after the Super Bowl; starting in 2015, the game was played during the week between the conference championships and the Super Bowl. In 2022, Omaha Productions, which is owned by former QB Peyton Manning, partnered with the NFL to produce the Pro Bowl Games format currently in use. This is the first year that the Pro Bowl will take place during Super Bowl week.
While rosters are announced before the playoffs start, players named to the Pro Bowl whose teams make the Super Bowl do not play in the Pro Bowl Games. In this case, alternates are selected to fill out the roster.
