Broncos CB Harris will replace Gilmore in Pro Bowl

Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. is headed to the Pro Bowl to replace New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore, according to a report Sunday night from KUSA-TV in Denver. Gilmore has a good reason to miss the game in Orlando: He will be preparing for the Patriots' Super Bowl LIII showdown against the Los Angeles Rams.

Harris, named a first alternate for the game, said earlier this week that he would be ready to play if called upon. He broke his fibula and missed the final four games of the regular season, but he told KUSA-TV that he would be able to play in the Pro Bowl if asked, which would be his fourth such selection. "I'm cleared, I'm ready to roll," Harris said. "I've been training and everything."

In 12 games, all starts, Harris finished this season with 49 tackles to go along with three interceptions (one returned for at touchdown), 10 pass break-ups, one sack. He has 19 interceptions in eight seasons with Denver, earning Pro Bowl honors from 2014-16. --Field Level Media
