The NFL officially announced the 2026 Pro Bowl Games rosters on Tuesday morning. As it turns out, the Philadelphia Eagles have five players who made the NFC team.
The list:
- DT Jalen Carter — 2nd Pro Bowl (2024, 2025)
- LB Zack Baun — 2nd Pro Bowl (2024, 2025)
- C Cam Jurgens — 2nd Pro Bowl (2024, 2025)
- CB Quinyon Mitchell — 1st Pro Bowl (2025)
- CB Cooper DeJean — 1st Pro Bowl (2025)
The NFL also announced five Eagles alternates:
- EDGE Jaelan Phillips (2nd alternate)
- RB Saquon Barkley (3rd alternate)
- TE Dallas Goedert (3rd alternate)
- ST Kelee Ringo (4th alternate)
- QB Jalen Hurts (5th alternate)
Some notes and thoughts:
- Carter is the Eagles’ sole Pro Bowl “starter.” Carter is undoubtedly a special player at his best but he hasn’t really had a great season, in no small part due to the massive workload he played in 2024. Carter has been plagued by injury issues this season and he’s only just set to return from a “procedure” on both of his shoulders.
- Jordan Davis, who somehow isn’t even an alternate, has a stronger case to be a Pro Bowler than Carter this season.
- Speaking of undeserved Pro Bowl honors, it’s bizarre to see that Jurgens made the cut. He has not passed the eye test this year as the Eagles’ running game has struggled. He ranks 21st out of 41 centers graded by Pro Football Focus. And it’s not like he made the Pro Bowl based on a strong track record of production in previous years. In this specific respect, it would’ve made more sense if Landon Dickerson made the Pro Bowl this season. Strange.
- Baun is definitely deserving. He’s allowed an even lower passer rating this year (66.9) than he did last year (80.5) as he’s already doubled his 2024 interception total with two games still yet to play.
- Cool to see Mitchell and DeJean properly recognized for being two of the very best cornerbacks in the NFL. They’ve followed up awesome rookie seasons with strong sophomore showings. DeJean is allowing a 72.6 passer rating when targeted. Mitchell is allowing just a 61.7 passer rating when targeted.
- Dumb to see that Lane Johnson isn’t a Pro Bowler. He continues to be disrespected.
- Repeating what I said last year: DeVonta Smith has yet to make a Pro Bowl. Which feels so weird because he’s so obviously that kind of caliber player. The Eagles’ offensive ineptitude this season obviously hasn’t done him any favors.
- Former Eagles players who made the Pro Bowl include: K Cameron Dicker and S Kevin Byard.
