Commanders' Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin to skip 2025 Pro Bowl
The Washington Commanders' season ended in ugly fashion on Sunday with a 55-23 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. After obliterating all expectations in 2024, the Commanders had high hopes that their season would continue to the Super Bowl, but it simply wasn't meant to be this year. Despite their season being over, three Commanders' players were selected to participate in the 2025 Pro Bowl: Terry McLaurin, Jayden Daniels, and Bobby Wagner. On Tuesday, Daniels announced that he would join McLaurin in skipping the Pro Bowl this year. Jayden Daniels will also skip the 2025 Pro Bowls games. Like Terry McLaurin, there is no specific injury I'm told, but wear and tear from a long season. Baker Mayfield replaces Daniels. — Ben Standig (@BenStandig) January 28, 2025 As indicated in the tweet, neither player has a specific injury, but both need a break. For Daniels, his body is used to the collegiate schedule, which is much shorter than the professional schedule, and it's likely he does need to rest. His replacement is Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield. McLaurin's replacement is Seattle Seahawks wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba. As of this writing, Bobby Wagner is still set to appear in the 2025 Pro Bowl this weekend. Festivities are set to kick off on January 30 with the skill competitions. It's not unheard of for players to skip the Pro Bowl without an injury. It is a meaningless game that risks injury to the healthiest of players. The game has eased up dramatically in recent years, but many players feel the risk outweighs any benefits, so it's not uncommon for players to skip these appearances.
