Russell Wilson has a chance to turn the 2025 Pro Bowl Games into his own audition, much like Derek Carr did before landing with the Saints.

Second-year Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba also was named as a replacement for Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson was back. Taking over for quarterback Justin Fields after a 4-2 start, Wilson’s nod was shrouded in controversy. By the end of his first start – a blowout win over the New York Jets – he put those worries to rest.
