The interesting aspect of Wilson being added to the Pro Bowl roster is that he did n not play the entire season. Wilson missed six games due to a severe calf injury he suffered during training camp.
Regardless of the injury, Wilson was instrumental in helping the Steelers get to the playoffs. The end of the team’s season was not ideal, though, as they lost their final five games, including the playoffs.
Despite the losses, Wilson played some good football, which has warranted him a trip to the Pro Bowl. The Steelers quarterback is now a 10-time Pro Bowler but has now been voted in since the 2021 season when he was still part of the Seattle Seahawks.
Wilson might also not be with the Steelers following the 2024 season. He was asked following the playoffs if there were discussions held about him being retained, which he stated had not happened.
