Bears get exciting Nahshon Wright news thanks to Eagles' Quinyon Mitchell

The Chicago Bears' season might be over, but that doesn't mean this is the last time that the Bears will see some of their players.

At the Pro Bowl, the Bears will see a few of their players represented. While the initial wave is well-known by now, there's a new face joining the Bears Pro Bowlers in San Francisco.

According to Chris Emma of 670 The Score, the Bears are getting another Pro Bowler thanks to Philadelphia Eagles CB Quinyon Mitchell. Nahshon Wright is set to replace Mitchell on the Pro Bowl roster, receiving a well-deserved Pro Bowl nod.

Bears' Nahshon Wright named to Pro Bowl

"Nahshon Wright has been added to the Pro Bowl, replacing Quinyon Mitchell," Emma reports. "A worthy selection after a breakout season that featured five interceptions. He will join Bears teammates Kevin Byard, Joe Thuney, and Drew Dalman in earning this honor."

Wright getting a Pro Bowl nod is an impressive feat for the veteran defensive back. After four years in the NFL between the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings, the 27-year-old made the Pro Bowl in his first year with the Bears.

It's an incredible breakout season, and his season-long statistics do more than prove he's worthy of this honor.

In 17 games this season, Wright had five interceptions, including one pick-six. He also had 11 passes defended, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and 80 tackles in an incredible season for the Bears.

This is a well-deserved honor for Wright, and was only made possible thanks to Mitchell's backing out of the Pro Bowl festivities.

It's not a cheap honor for Wright, but one that easily could've been his when they initially announced all of the Pro Bowlers.
