Former New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola has joined two-time Olympic bronze medalist Stephen Nedoroscik — affectionately known as “pommel horse guy” — among the Boston-area celebrities appearing on this fall’s season of “Dancing with the Stars,” the ABC network announced Wednesday.

Amendola, who retired from the NFL in 2022, and Nedoroscik, a Worcester native who was announced as a contestant on the reality show last month, will pit their skills on the dance floor against former “Bachelorette” star Jenn Tran, who has lived in Boston, and actors Eric Roberts, Tori Spelling, Reginald VelJohnson and Chandler Kinney, according to an announcement on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
