Miles Killebrew will get a chance to participate in the Pro Bowl Games for the second year in a row.
The Pittsburgh Steelers special teams captain was named Wednesday as an injury replacement for the games, giving the team five representatives at the event, which will be held Feb. 2 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla.
Killebrew will take the spot of New England Patriots special teams player Brendan Schooler. It is the second time that Killebrew will represent the Steelers in the Pro Bowl skills competition.
He joins kicker Chris Boswell, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, defensive tackle Cameron Heyward and outside linebacker T.J. Watt on the Pro Bowl roster.
Killebrew led the Steelers with 13 combined tackles on special teams. He is a three-time special teams captain.
