Marino is still bothered by the Achilles tendon injury that sidelined him most of last season. He said recently that doctors told him he could avoid further surgery by devoting himself to his rehabilitation program.
Elway, in his 12th National Football League season, also was the Conference's starting Pro Bowl quarterback in 1987 and 1994. He got his first Pro Bowl berth in 1986.
The Pro Bowl, the league's all-star game, will be played on Feb. 5 in Hawaii.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
