Sammy Winder of the Denver Broncos was named to replace Raider running back Marcus Allen on the AFC roster for the Pro Bowl.
A spokesman for the NFL said an ankle injury suffered by Allen during the regular season had failed to respond to treatment, forcing the substitution for Sunday’s game in Honolulu.
Allen becomes the second running back on the AFC squad to withdraw from the game. Seattle’s Curt Warner pulled out because of the flu and was replaced by Earnest Jackson of Pittsburgh.
