Packers CB Keisean Nixon in for Seahawks' Devon Witherspoon at Pro Bowl Games
Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon (25) against the Chicago Bears during their wild-card playoff football game Saturday, January 10, 2026, at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. The Bears defeated the Packers 31-27.
Wm. Glasheen /USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin. Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon was added on Tuesday to the Pro Bowl Games roster, replacing Seattle Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon.
It's the first career Pro Bowl selection for Nixon, 28. He was first-team All-Pro in 2022 and 2023 as a kick returner for Green Bay.
Witherspoon, 25, has been selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his three seasons with the Seahawks, who are playing in Super Bowl LX.
Nixon had 72 tackles, one interception, one fumble recovery and a career-high 17 passes defensed while starting all 17 regular-season games.
He signed as an undrafted free agent with the then-Oakland Raiders in 2019 and played three seasons before signing with the Packers in March 2022. He has 301 career tackles, 3.5 sacks, four interceptions, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 33 passes defensed in 108 regular-season games (51 starts).
According to the Packers, Nixon was the only cornerback in the league this season to play in all 17 games and also post at least one interception in each of the last four seasons (2022-25).
In their fourth year, the Pro Bowl Games -- which include week-long skills competitions and a flag football game -- will be played in San Francisco ahead of Super Bowl LX. Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Steve Young will serve as coaches for the flag football game, slated for Feb. 3.
Super Bowl LX will be held Feb. 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, home of the San Francisco 49ers. Witherspoon's Seahawks will take on the New England Patriots.
