New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi was added to the Pro Bowl roster for the first time, replacing injured Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis.

Bruschi is the fifth Patriots player on the AFC roster, joining Tom Brady, Larry Izzo, Richard Seymour and Adam Vinatieri for the Feb. 13 game in Hawaii.

Bruschi, 31, is a nine-year veteran who was selected as the AFC's Defensive Player of the Week three times, including the first-round playoff victory over the Indianapolis Colts. A second team Associated Press All-Pro selection, he ranked second on the team with 128 tackles and tied for second with three interceptions.

Two of the Patriots' four defensive touchdowns resulted from his fumbles.
