Seahawks left tackle Walter Jones will not play in next month's Pro Bowl because of shoulder surgery that was scheduled for this week, his agent confirmed.
Jones, who just finished his 11th NFL season, was named to his eighth Pro Bowl this past season, tied for the most in Seahawks history. He played hurt for at least part of the second half of the 2007 campaign.
A first-team All-Pro selection in 2007 as well, Jones turned 34 four days ago. He will be replaced on the NFC squad by Green Bay Packers tackle Chad Clifton.
Jones is the second Seahawk Pro Bowl selection to opt out of the NFL's all-star game in Hawaii on Feb. 10, along with defensive end Patrick Kerney. Kerney was also scheduled for shoulder surgery this week and has been replaced by Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Trent Cole.
That leaves quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, cornerback Marcus Trufant and linebackers Julian Peterson and Lofa Tatupu as the four Seahawks who are expected to play in the game.
