The Broncos announced on Wednesday that wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders has been named to the AFC roster. He will replace Amari Cooper of the Oakland Raiders.

After never recording a 1,000-yard season during his four years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Sanders has posted three straight with the Broncos. In 2016, the 29-year-old caught 79 passes for 1,032 yards and five touchdowns.
The Pro Bowl is set to be contested on Jan. 29, in Orlando. Sanders will join teammates Von Miller, Chris Harris Jr., Aqib Talib and Darian Stewart, all of whom were previously named.
