DeMarcus Ware won't play Sunday in the 2013 Pro Bowl. Linebacker Anthony Spencer and tight end Jason Witten, however, are still scheduled to participate.

The Dallas Cowboys will be represented by two players at Sunday's NFL Pro Bowl in Hawaii.

Tight end Jason Witten and outside linebacker Anthony Spencer will be the only Cowboys suiting up for Team NFC on Sunday. DeMarcus Ware was also selected to the team but will not play due to injury concern.

For the first time in his career, Witten caught more than 100 passes in a season. He finished 2012 with 110 catches for 1,039 yards and three touchdowns. The 30-year-old tight end hasn't missed a game since his rookie season in 2003.

Spencer is coming off of a career year with the Cowboys. Spencer recorded 95 total tackles and a career-high 11 sacks in 14 games. He also had two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
