Inside The Bills

Injury replacement the hope

With Stevie Johnson and Kyle Williams not getting Pro Bowl recognition this year despite outstanding seasons, they can only hope that they’re selected to be injury replacements.

Johnson might have a better chance. Houston’s Andre Johnson, who was selected, has battled injuries all season and may choose to skip participating in the Pro Bowl. That could open the door for Buffalo’s top wideout, who is likely an alternate.

For Williams it could prove more difficult, although Haloti Ngata and Vince Wilfork are both playing for playoff bound teams and will still have games to play.

The Bills and three other NFL clubs were not represented with a Pro Bowl player, Cincinnati, Seattle and Tampa Bay.
