Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton will replace injured Cincinnati Bengals wideout A.J. Green on the AFC Pro Bowl roster, per Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk.

Hilton was one of the lone bright spots for a Colts team which finished just 4-12 this season without star quarterback Andrew Luck. With Jacoby Brissett playing quarterback for most of the season, Hilton had 57 catches for 966 yards and four touchdowns, which are actually his lowest marks since his rookie season.

Hilton had three games of 150 or more receiving yards, which took place during three of their four wins this season.

With his selection, Hilton has now gone to the Pro Bowl in each of the last four seasons. He will be the Colts’ lone representative for this year’s game.  His inclusion also means the Colts have kept up their impressive streak of having a player selected for the game every year since 1997.

Meanwhile, Green had another strong season for the Cincinnati Bengals, who also disappointed as they went just 7-9. He led the team with 1,078 receiving yards, the sixth 1,000-yard season in seven years in the NFL. He had just 964 yards last season, but he was limited to just 10 games following a season-ending hamstring injury. He also added 75 receptions and eight touchdowns, which both led the team.

Even though he won’t play, Green has still kept up his impressive streak of being named to the Pro Bowl in all seven of his seasons in the NFL. With Green out, defensive tackle Geno Atkins will be the Bengals’ lone representative in Orlando.
