There will be no blue hair at the Pro Bowl after all. Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has pulled out of the showcase event this weekend due to injury and been replaced by Giants wideout Malik Nabers, according to an announcement from the Giants.

The NFL is set to conduct its annual Pro Bowl Games Thursday and Sunday, and six Detroit Lions will officially be participating. Detroit has had multiple players selected that have been replaced, including offensive tackle Penei Sewell and wide receiver Amon-Ra St.

The New York Giants will have a representative in the Pro Bowl as receiver Malik Nabers will replace Detroit Lions star Amon-Ra St. Brown.

Twenty-four Pro Bowl alternates were named Tuesday, prompting five-time selection J.J. Watt to go scorched earth on what he suggests is a watered-down honor.

With the Detroit Lions' 2025 season getting further into the rearview mirror, it's time to evaluate the season that was with final position grades.

JAN. 27. MALIK NABERS NAMED TO THE PRO BOWL. As we reported might be the case in our January 23 news briefs, New York Giants rookie receiver Malik Nabers has been named to the Pro Bowl as a replacement for Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, who will miss the event due to injury.

The Detroit Lions will be well-represented at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games in Orlando with six players participating in the event, marking the second straight year Detroit has sent at least five players to the competition.

Wednesday brought word that Steve Heiden will leave his job as the Lions' tight ends coach in order to coach the Jets' offensive line and he's the latest in a long list of coaches to leave the team since their playoff loss to the Commanders.

On the January 29 episode of the "St. Brown Podcast", star Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown revealed that he connected the dots in a group chat with his coach and fellow receivers ahead of the news breaking.

You can be sure that St. Brown will let Brown hear it after his early gaffe in the NFC Championship Game.

It has been a historic season for rookies in the NFL. Up and down the draft, NFL teams found true gems that became instant contributors to their teams. Looking at the playoff teams as well, it was rife with top-end talent that just came into the league.
