5 Lions make initial 2024 Pro Bowl roster
The initial 2024 Pro Bowl roster has been announced and the NFC North division champions are well represented.
The roster is subject to change due to the results of the NFL playoffs but for now, five Lions made the initial roster. Sam LaPorta, Penei Sewell, Frank Ragnow, Aidan Hutchison, and Jalen Reeves-Maybin all were named to the roster but now were selected as starters.
