As you've likely heard by now, quarterback Matt Schaub found out late Tuesday night that **he'll play in the Pro Bowl on January 31**. He was originally the second alternate. Ben Roethlisberger was the 1st alternate, and is injured. Then last night, Pro Bowl reserve Tom Brady bowed out due to injury. So congrats to Matt: he's headed to Miami with Andre Johnson, DeMeco Ryans, Brian Cushing and Mario Williams.
