Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel has been added to the AFC's Pro Bowl roster, the team announced on Saturday.

Keisel replaces Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney, who has bowed out with an undisclosed injury.

This will be the first Pro Bowl appearance for the 32-year old Keisel, who had 33 tackles, 3 quarterback sacks, and his first NFL interception in 11 games in 2010.

Keisel anchored the NFL's #1-ranked run defense, which is also sending linebacker James Harrison and safety Troy Polamalu to Hawaii in starting roles.
