7 years agoCarolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly will not participate in the Pro Bowl due to an undisclosed minor injury. It's Kuechly's fifth Pro Bowl selection, but he won't play in three straight due to injuries. Falcons linebacker Deion Jones will replace Kuechly. The Panthers linebacker played in 15 games in 2017 after sitting out nine games in 2015 and 2016 due to concussions. When healthy, he's one of the best all-around linebackers in the NFL, but concussions have become a real concern for him in recent years, and he's a big-time injury risk in IDP leagues going forward.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
