The Dallas Cowboys now have six players participating in the 2026 Pro Bowl Games, with news that star tight end Jake Ferguson has been named a late replacement for the annual all-star game.

Ferguson earned his nod after the brutal injury to San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, who suffered a torn Achilles during the team's NFL playoff run. The Pro Bowl selection makes Ferguson just the fourth tight end in franchise history to earn multiple Pro Bowl nods, joining Jason Witten (11), Jay Novacek (5), and Billy Joe DuPree (3).

The 27-year-old Ferguson joins Dak Prescott, first-time Pro Bowler George Pickens, offensive line standout Tyler Smith, star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, and Brandon Aubrey.

During training camp, Ferguson signed a four-year, $50 million extension to make him the eighth highest-paid tight end in the league.

This season, Ferguson recorded career-highs in receptions (88) and touchdowns (8), after failing to find the endzone last season. He recorded 600 receiving yards, which is the second most in a single-season for his career.
