In an exciting announcement that has football fans buzzing, five players from the Philadelphia Eagles have secured spots in the upcoming 2026 Pro Bowl Games. This news was revealed on Tuesday morning, showcasing a roster filled with talent and promise:
- Linebacker Zack Baun
- Defensive Tackle Jalen Carter (starter)
- Defensive Back Cooper DeJean
- Center Cam Jurgens
- Cornerback Quinyon Mitchell
The selection process for these prestigious honors involves a vote composed of fans, players, and coaches, all contributing to the final decisions. The 2026 Pro Bowl Games are set to take place on Tuesday, February 3, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco—a fitting venue, as it will also host the Super Bowl.
It's noteworthy that both DeJean and Mitchell have made their Pro Bowl debuts this year, while Carter, Baun, and Jurgens have been recognized for the second consecutive season.
Mitchell, who was the Eagles' first-round draft pick last season, has quickly risen through the ranks to become one of the most formidable outside cornerbacks in the league. Impressively, he posted a completion percentage allowed of just 41.3% in 2025, the lowest among all cornerbacks in the NFL over the past three years, as reported by Next Gen Stats (with a minimum of 250 coverage snaps).
DeJean, building on a strong rookie campaign after being chosen in the second round, has emerged as one of the top nickel cornerbacks in the league. Over the course of 15 games, he has achieved 84 tackles, defended against 16 passes, and notched two interceptions. Alongside Mitchell, DeJean is now part of a select group of homegrown Eagles cornerbacks to earn a Pro Bowl nod, a distinction last seen with Lito Sheppard in 2006.
Jalen Carter stands out as the Eagles' only Pro Bowl starter this year. Despite facing some injury challenges this season, he has still managed to make a significant impact, recording 32 tackles, 11 quarterback hits, and two sacks in just 10 games. His ability to perform at a high level cements his status as one of the elite defensive tackles in the NFL.
Zack Baun continues his impressive track record, achieving back-to-back Pro Bowl selections as an inside linebacker. Following a standout first-team All-Pro season, he has accumulated 117 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and two interceptions across 15 games for the Eagles.
Cam Jurgens’ inclusion marks the seventh consecutive year that an Eagles center has made it to the Pro Bowl. Jason Kelce held the honor from 2019 through 2023, and Jurgens has now followed suit for the last two seasons. His contributions have been invaluable, particularly in facilitating a 1,000-yard rushing season for running back Saquon Barkley.
Additionally, several Eagles players have been named as alternates for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games, reflecting the depth of talent on the team:
- 2nd Alternate:
- Outside Linebacker Jaelan Phillips
- Outside Linebacker Jaelan Phillips
- 3rd Alternates:

- Tight End Dallas Goedert
- Running Back Saquon Barkley
- 4th Alternate:
