Turner is headed to the Pro Bowl for the fifth time in his career, this time as an injury replacement for Eagles guard Brandon Brooks.
The Carolina Panthers will have another representative at the 2020 Pro Bowl. Right guard Trai Turner has been added to the roster as an injury replacement for Philadelphia Eagles guard Brandon Brooks. This is Turner’s fifth appearance in the Pro Bowl.
I know, I know... you don’t care about the Pro Bowl, and that’s fine... it’s well within your right not to care about a meaningless exhibition game where no one plays defense and hardly anyone pays attention to the results. That’s perfectly okay. But, if you’re Trai Turner you probably think this is a pretty cool honor. He’s been honored by his peers for five times as being one of the league’s upper tier offensive linemen, so even if the game doesn’t really mean anything, it’s still pretty neat that he gets to go.
Turner joins Luke Kuechly and Christian McCaffrey as the only Panthers selected for the exhibition, but there’s still a chance that guys like DJ Moore could get in if other players bow out due to injury. We’ll keep you posted if that happens.
