Englewood, CO (My Sportsbook) - Denver Broncos center Casey Wiegmann was added to the AFC's Pro Bowl roster on Tuesday, replacing injured Titans center Kevin Mawae. Wiegmann, who will be making his first trip to the annual all-star showcase after 13 seasons in the NFL, started all 16 games in place of Tom Nalen after the five-time Pro Bowl selection went on the injured reserve list with a left knee injury. The 35-year-old Wiegmann has started in 127 straight games and led an offensive line that allowed a franchise-low 12 sacks throughout the 2008 season for the pass-happy Broncos. Mawae will miss the game as the veteran is expected to undergo elbow surgery.
