They’ll join Derrick Henry & Brett Kern in Orlando this weekend.
Tannehill replaces Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, Casey replaces Chiefs DL Chris Jones.
For Tannehill, it’s his first Pro Bowl appearance after what was arguably his best season as a pro. Tannehill finished with 2,742 passing yards and 22 touchdowns to six picks in 10 regular season starts and helped turn Tennessee’s 2-4 start into a trip to the AFC title game.
He also led the NFL in passer rating (117.5) and was third in completion percentage (70.3).
As for Casey, this is his fifth straight Pro Bowl appearance. In 14 regular season games, Casey totaled five sacks, 44 combined tackles and 10 QB hits. He was especially impressive in the divisional round when he notched two sacks and one forced fumble against the Ravens.
Casey and Tannehill will now join running back Derrick Henry and punter Brett Kern, both of whom were originally selected to the Pro Bowl when the rosters were first announced back in December.
