Tennessee Titans’ running back Derrick Henry, defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons, and long snapper Morgan Cox have been selected to the 2022 NFL Pro Bowl.

This marks the third time Henry has been selected a Pro Bowler, following appearances in 2019 and 2020. Henry wasn’t selected in 2021 after missing the second half of the season with a foot injury.

Through 14 games, Henry has 1,303 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 296 carries, along with 30 catches for 379 yards.

Simmons has been selected for the second year in a row, after being honored for the first time in 2021. He has been credited with 47 tackles and 7.5 sacks, along with 38 quarterback pressures.

This is the fifth Pro Bowl selection for Cox, but his first time with the Titans. He was selected as a member of the Baltimore Ravens in 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2020. Cox has snapped to punter Ryan Stonehouse and for kickers Randy Bullock, Caleb Shudak and Josh Lambo this season. The University of Tennessee product has been regarded as one of the best long snappers in the league since entering the NFL in 2010. Cox joined the Titans in 2021.

The Titans have also been informed four other players (in no particular order) are alternates for the 2023 Pro Bowl: center Ben Jones, punter Stonehouse, safety Kevin Byard, and linebacker Dylan Cole (special teams).

Roster selections were determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches, with each group’s vote counting one-third toward determining the 88 Pro Bowl players.

The 2023 Pro Bowl Games presented by Verizon will be a week-long celebration of AFC vs. NFC competitions featuring a new format that spotlights flag football. Tickets to see all the action on Sunday, Feb. 5, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas are available now.
