The Saints will have a third player in the Pro Bowl Games this year, as Erik McCoy joins teammates Rashid Shaheed and Demario Davis. The league made the announcement on Wednesday afternoon, as he'll replace Lions center Frank Ragnow. Davis was added to the roster on Tuesday.

This is the first Pro Bowl nod for McCoy, as he becomes the first Saints center to make it in since Max Unger did in 2018. The former 48th overall pick from the 2019 draft was a team captain in 2023 for the first time in his season and was the only lineman on the team to start all 17 games for New Orleans.

The Pro Bowl enters its second year of the current format, which includes a multi-day competition between the AFC and NFC in Orlando. That'll lead up to a flag football game on Sunday, Feb. 4 at 2 p.m. CT on ESPN, ABC, Disney XD, ESPN + and ESPN Deportes from Camping World Stadium.
