Quarterback Tony Romo and cornerback Mike Jenkins have been added to the Pro Bowl roster as injury replacements.
It brings the total of Cowboys at the all-star game to eight to go along with Wade Phillips and the coaching staff in what will be a silver star reunion.
Romo replaced Vikings quarterback Brett Favre. It his third career selection to the Pro Bowl.
Jenkins, who had a breakout season at cornerback for the Cowboys, earned his first selection. He replaced Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield.
The two join tight end Jason Witten, guard Leonard Davis, receiver Miles Austin, linebacker DeMarcus Ware, nose tackle Jay Ratliff and cornerback Terence Newman in the game. Center Andre Gurode was originally selected as a starter but pulled out because of minor knee surgery.

OOPs, forgot to add to article ... congrats to the guys. But maybe the NFL should have a rule/guidelines:
for future contracts and other stuff:
a. if named to probowl: orginal...then get bonus per contract.
b. if an injury replacement: 90% of contract, for 1st one and then 5% less for each replacement.
c. but the money::: difference goes to CHARITY.
d. but IT SHOULD BE PART OF THE OVERALL CBA TO BE WORKED OUT.
