After no Bears made the Pro Bowl for the 2017 season, five were named to the 2019 Pro Bowl in December 2018. While no offensive players were elected originally, Cohen was voted as a kick returner; Mack, Hicks, Fuller, and Jackson were voted in on defense. Trubisky, Trey Burton, Floyd, Leno, Smith, Trevathan, and Whitehair were designated as alternates for the game. Following the Rams' NFC Championship Game win to advance to Super Bowl LIII, Trubisky formally replaced Jared Goff on the Pro Bowl roster, making him the first Bears quarterback to play in the all-star game since Jim McMahon in 1986. Leno and Whitehair later joined their teammates to increase the Bears Pro Bowler count to eight, their most since 2006.
