"[ Safety Ed Reed will not play in the 2011 NFL Pro Bowl after being elected to the honor for the seventh time in his career.
Tennessee Titans safety Michael Griffen was named as Reed’s replacement, and will now be traveling to Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii for the Jan. 30 event, according to the Titans’ team website.
Reed, who is unable to participate due to injury, missed the first six weeks of the season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list after undergoing offseason hip surgery. Reed also dealt with neck pain this season and sore ribs in the Wild Card Round, but never missed time since coming off PUP.
Despite the injuries, Reed still led the league in interceptions (eight) while playing in just 10 games.
Not only will the time away from the Pro Bowl afford Reed the opportunity to rest his body, but he could also spend time with family.
Reed’s brother, Brian, is still missing after he jumped into the Mississippi River just days before the Ravens’ 30-7 wild-card win in Kansas City. ] "
