Chargers OT Joe Alt Earns First Pro Bowl Selection Despite Season-Ending Injury

Los Angeles Chargers tackle Joe Alt has earned his first Pro Bowl honor, a notable achievement given his season was cut short by injury. Alt transitioned from right to left tackle after Rashawn Slater's season-ending injury in training camp. He was a stalwart for the first three weeks before sustaining an ankle injury in Week 4, and after returning in Week 8, was carted off in Week 9 with the same ankle injury, requiring season-ending surgery. His selection was determined by the consensus votes of fans, players, and coaches.
