Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is headed to the Pro Bowl Games as a replacement for Baltimore Ravens star Derrick Henry.
The Bills also announced Tuesday that Buffalo center Connor McGovern is going to the event in Orlando, Fla.
McGovern is taking the spot of Creed Humphrey of the Kansas City Chiefs. Humphrey has other plans as the Chiefs prepare for Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Pro Bowl Games will take place on Thursday (7-8:30 p.m. ET) and Sunday (3-6 p.m. ET).
Cook and McGovern saw their bid to reach Super Bowl LIX come to a halt when the Chiefs posted a 32-29 win over the visiting Bills on Sunday. They will join Buffalo teammates Josh Allen and Dion Dawkins on the AFC roster.
No reason was given for Henry opting out of the Pro Bowl.
Cook, 25, is venturing to the Pro Bowl for the second straight year after matching the franchise record with 16 rushing touchdowns this season. The total tied Henry and Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs for the league lead.
McGovern, 27, started all 16 games in which he has played this season. He is making a Pro Bowl appearance for the first time in his career.
