DeForest Buckner has two opportunities to get Pro Bowl spot

The San Francisco 49ers aren’t playing for anything this month, but there is still reason to keep an eye on the playoffs. Kyle Juszczyk and George Kittle are already headed to the Pro Bowl as a starter and reserve, respectively, but some of the team’s alternates might earn a promotion to reserve as the playoffs wrap up.

Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner stands a good shot of getting the call. Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox suffered a foot injury in the Eagles divisional round loss to the New Orleans Saints.
