2026 Pro Bowl rosters: 5 Detroit Lions make team, 5 alternates

The 2026 Pro Bowl rosters are out, and the Detroit Lions have five players who made the roster, down from last year’s seven. Here are the five players who made it:

• RB Jahmyr Gibbs
• WR Amon-Ra St. Brown
• RT Penei Sewell
• EDGE Aidan Hutchinson
• LB Jack Campbell

Among the group, Campbell is the only first-time Pro Bowler, but it was well deserved. The Lions’ MIKE linebacker made the Year 3 jump that many within the organization were predicting. Through 15 games, Campbell has 159 tackles (third in the NFL), nine tackles for loss (36th), three forced fumbles (t-fifth), 5.0 sacks (t-57th), and the second-best PFF grade among all NFL linebackers (90.1).

This is Gibbs’ third Pro Bowl, St. Brown’s fourth, Sewell’s fourth, and Hutchinson’s second.

Additionally, four of the Lions’ five Pro Bowlers were listed as starters—Gibbs, Sewell, Hutchinson, and Campbell—indicating they were recognized as the top players at their position in the NFC.

In addition to these five Pro Bowlers, the Lions also have five alternates for the games:

• QB Jared Goff (first alternate)
• WR Jameson Williams (fourth)
• TE Sam LaPorta (fifth)
• S Brian Branch (first)
• S Kerby Joseph (fifth)

Obviously, LaPorta, Branch, and Joseph are unlikely to play in the Pro Bowl games, should their names be called, as all of them are dealing with injuries that landed them on injured reserve. It will be interesting to see if Goff gets the call-up. The three NFC quarterbacks named to the Pro Bowl are Matthew Stafford, Sam Darnold, and Dak Prescott.

Jameson Williams’ route to his first Pro Bowl will be a little more difficult. The NFC Pro Bowl receivers are Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, George Pickens, and St. Brown—plus three alternates.

The 2026 NFL Pro Bowl Games will be played in the week leading up to the Super Bowl. The flag football game is scheduled for Tuesday, February 3, at 8 p.m. ET in San Francisco.
