During practice yesterday, it quickly became apparent that Cody Latimer was surprisingly missing from the field. Was he injured? In trouble? Worse?

Nope, according to head coach Gary Kubiak, he had an extremely reasonable excuse:

“Cody is having a baby as we speak and so is Corey [Nelson]. We’ve got a lot going on today.”

And yesterday afternoon, Latimer gave us a sneak peak at the newest member of Broncos Country, Jacolby James Latimer.

My fat daddy made it… So this is what love at first sight feels like!!! I love you Jacolby James Latimer pic.twitter.com/cDyjdQgqk1 — Cody Latimer (@CodyLatimer14) December 2, 2015

Now let’s just hope he can get some rest before this Sunday’s game against the Chargers!

Congrats, Cody!
