Jason Kelce, one of the Eagles who could potentially be a salary cap casualty next season after an up-and-down year, is headed to the Pro Bowl.
Kelce and Darren Sproles were each named to the Pro Bowl Monday as replacements for center Alex Mack and running back Devonta Freeman, who will be in the Super Bowl for the Falcons.
Kelce didn't miss a snap this season for the Eagles and hasn't missed one in 39 straight games dating back to Week 10 of the 2014 season.
Despite the Pro Bowl nod, Kelce gave an honest, harsh assessment of his season in November.
"I think that I quite frankly need to do a better job. That's what it comes down to," he said. "I love playing in this city, I love playing in this organization, and if I'm going to keep doing that, I have to do a better job."
Sproles, meanwhile, has now made the Pro Bowl in each of his three seasons with the Eagles, all of them after his 30th birthday. Sproles had 438 rushing yards, 427 receiving yards, four TDs and a punt return average of 13.2 yards this season. His 94 carries were a career high.
Kelce and Sproles join Jason Peters and Fletcher Cox, giving the Eagles four Pro Bowlers after a 7-9 season.

Eagles sign DT Justin Hamilton to futures contract
The Eagles on Monday signed defensive tackle Justin Hamilton to a futures contract.
Hamilton, 23, went undrafted in 2015 but spent time with both the Bills and Packers. This past season, he spent six different stints on the Seahawks' practice squad, constantly being waived then re-signed.
He has never played in an NFL game.
Hamilton played collegiately at Louisiana-Lafayette, where he totaled 14 sacks and 29 tackles for loss in four years. He was First Team All-Sun Belt as a senior.
The Eagles have signed 15 players to reserves/futures contracts this month.
