Chargers QB Rivers pulls out of Pro Bowl

Advertiser Staff

San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers won't play in the Pro Bowl because of a foot injury.

Chargers spokesman Bill Johnston said Tuesday that Rivers sprained his right foot against the Arizona Cardinals on Dec. 31 and aggravated it in the Chargers' 24-21 playoff loss to New England.

The team decided it's best if Rivers stays off the foot, Johnston said.

The Chargers are still sending a league-high nine players to the Pro Bowl, set for Feb.10, at Aloha Stadium.
