In early January, five Dallas Cowboys were announced as selections for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games:
- EDGE Micah Parsons
- K Brandon Aubrey
- WR CeeDee Lamb
- OL Tyler Smith
- LG Tyler Smith
However, with the still recent changes to the Pro Bowl format and players opting out, fans might be wondering who is actually going to play on Sunday's "Flag Football Finale of the event.
Not playing
- CeeDee Lamb opted to skip the Pro Bowl Games as he rehabs from a shoulder injury he played through starting in Week 9 of the 2024 regular season. Don't expect him to score any odd-looking touchdowns like last year.
- Tyler Smith (who is participating in the event) isn't playing since the flag football matchup only includes centers as OL.
- Brandon Aubrey also won't participate as there's no kicking in the game.
- Micah Parsons isn't playing in the game despite partaking in other competitions.
Playing
KaVontae Turpin is the only one of five Cowboys Pro Bowlers that are going to play on Sunday's matchup. With a lack of kicks, Turpin, who made it as a return specialist, is going to have to carve out a role on offense. His speed makes him a dangerous factor in the open spaces of flag football.
The Flag Football Finale consists of 7-on-7 flag football with four 12-minute quarters each. For the third consecutive year, Eli Manning coaches NFC team and Peyton Manning coaches the AFC.
At the end of the games, each squad adds their total points scored in the finale to their points accumulated from the skills competition.
The Pro Bowl Games Flag Football Finale kicks off at 3 p.m. ET.
