Cowboys left tackle Flozell Adams has been added to the NFC Pro Bowl roster as a starter, replacing Seattle's Walter Jones who backed out because of injury.

Adams started all 16 games for the third straight year. This will be his fifth Pro Bowl in the past six seasons.

Leonard Davis was selected to his second Pro Bowl in two seasons as a right guard for the Cowboys, but has also decided not to play because of a foot injury. The injury is minor and will not require surgery.

Davis has started all 32 games in two seasons with the Cowboys. He was picked as a backup to NFC starters Steve Hutchinson of Minnesota and Chris Snee of New York. He is being replaced by Tampa Bay's Davin Joseph.

Four other Cowboys will be in the Pro Bowl. Tight end Jason Witten, center Andre Gurode, outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware and nose tackle Jay Ratliff were all selected as NFC starters.
