On January 27, the Lions announced that left tackle Taylor Decker would be joining this year's Pro Bowl roster for the NFC.' This will be Decker's first appearance in the Pro Bowl. Unfortunately, it comes at the expense of fellow Lions Penei Sewell, who will miss the event because of an injury.

The Detroit Lions will be well-represented at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games in Orlando with six players participating in the event, marking the second straight year Detroit has sent at least five players to the competition.
