BREAKING NEWS : Lions LT Taylor Decker named to first ever Pro Bowl

2025 Pro Bowl: Detroit Lions LT Taylor Decker added to team - Pride Of  Detroit

With the Super Bowl teams now finalized, the 2025 Pro Bowl rosters are getting their last tweaks before the games later this week. One Detroit Lions player has been added to the roster, while another one has been removed. The Lions announced on Monday that left tackle Taylor Decker has been named to the team, but he will be replacing right tackle Penei Sewell, who will not participate due to injury.

This is Decker’s first-ever Pro Bowl in his nine-year career. Decker was Detroit’s first-round pick back in the 2016 NFL Draft and has maintained his starting position at left tackle for all nine seasons, including 126 career starts. This year, Decker earned a 77.2 PFF grade, good for 21st among all NFL tackles. He was initially named a third alternate for the Pro Bowl, but with Sewell’s injury and Eagles tackle Lane Johnson headed for the Super Bowl, Decker is now in line for his first trip to the all-star game.

Other Lions currently expected to participate in the Pro Bowl games include quarterback Jared Goff, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, center Frank Ragnow, safety Brian Branch, and punter Jack Fox.

As for Sewell’s injury, there have been no reports about his condition. However, he did get rolled up on during the team’s Divisional Round game against the Washington Commanders and was sporting a brace for the remainder of the game.

The Pro Bowl Games will be televised as a two-part event.

  • Thursday, Jan 30 — 7-8:30 p.m. ET — ESPN — Skills competition
  • Sunday, Feb. 2 — 3-6 p.m. ET — ABC/ESPN — Pro Bowl Games Championship + game
