Steelers Joe Haden replacing Ravens Marcus Peters in 2020 Pro Bowl

The Baltimore Ravens originally placed 12 players on the 2020 Pro Bowl roster, tying an NFL record. The hope was none of them were going to be able to play with Super Bowl LIV being the next weekend. However, with their loss to the Tennessee Titans in the NFL playoffs, Baltimore now suddenly has the time.

You won’t be seeing Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters there though. According to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Peters isn’t going to the Pro Bowl due to injury and will be replaced by Joe Haden.

Peters had a spectacular season on two different teams. Starting the season out with the Los Angeles Rams, Peters started six games and had two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), four passes defended and a fumble recovery. He was then traded to Baltimore for a fifth-round pick and linebacker Kenny Young.

With the Ravens, Peters stepped up his game even further and cemented his Pro Bowl roster spot. In 10 games with Baltimore, Peters had three more interceptions (returning two more for touchdowns) and having 10 passes defended. The addition of Peters was a big reason for the Ravens’ defensive turnaround last season, eventually seeing the unit climb to a fourth-place ranking.
