Miami Dolphins cornerback Patrick Surtain dropped out of the Pro Bowl because of a knee injury and was replaced by teammate Sam Madison.
The undisclosed injury gives Madison a fourth consecutive trip to the Pro Bowl. Madison had 31 tackles and three interceptions last season, a year in which he criticized himself for not playing to his standards.
Surtain, making his first Pro Bowl, had been a starter for the game. Instead, Houston's Aaron Glenn and New England's Ty Law will start for the AFC squad. Madison will be the lone reserve at cornerback.
