Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller is heading back to the Pro Bowl. After being voted as an alternate last month, he was picked Thursday to replace injured Rams star Jalen Ramsey.

Fuller led the Bears with three interceptions this season, one year after tying for the league lead with seven. Known as a physical player, Fuller’s 82 tackles ranked second on the Bears. He played a team-high 99.72 percent of the Bears’ defensive snaps.

The 2014 first-round pick made his first Pro Bowl last season, when he was also named a first-team All-Pro.

Last month, three of Fuller’s teammates were voted to the Pro Bowl, which will take place Jan. 26 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida: returner Cordarrelle Patterson, outside linebacker Khalil Mack and safety Eddie Jackson.

Punt returner Tarik Cohen and nose tackle Eddie Goldman remain alternates, though Goldman finished the season in concussion protocol.
