NASHVILLE – Titans center Ben Jones is headed to the Pro Bowl Games.

Jones on Monday was named to the Pro Bowl roster as a replacement for Chiefs center Creed Humphrey, who is headed to the Super Bowl.

Jones, initially named as one of the team's alternates, joins Titans running back Derrick Henry, defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons and long snapper Morgan Cox as Pro Bowlers.

It's the first Pro Bowl selection for Jones, who just completed his 11th NFL season, and his seventh with the Titans.

Jones has played in 172 career games, with 151 starts. He played in 12 games for the Titans in 2022, but he was sidelined in five games because of concussions.

From 2012 through 2021, Jones appeared in 160 of 161 possible regular season games, including starts in all but one game during his first six seasons in Tennessee. A captain in 2022, Jones completed his seventh season (2016-22) with Tennessee, after spending his first four years (2012-15) in Houston.

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.

The NFC and AFC teams will face off in the 2023 Pro Bowl Games on Sunday, Feb. 5 at 2 p.m. (CT) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. It will be televised by ESPN.
