Two Ravens Added to Pro Bowl Roster
BALTIMORE (WJZ) - The beard is heading back to the Pro Bowl.
The Ravens announced yesterday that Safety Eric Weddle has been added to the AFC roster after New England Patriots safety Devin McCourty was made unavailable. McCourty is playing in the Super Bowl the following week.
The veteran safety was initially a second alternate to the position. But after McCourty became unavailable and Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry withdrew, Weddle was added.
Team effort. Thanks to everyone. Weddle clan is pumped! Disney world watch out. https://t.co/POKsVOfry9
