Chicago Bears cornerback Charles Tillman tweeted Thursday that his wife will deliver their child on Monday, so he'll be able to play Sunday night against the Houston Texans.

Tillman tweeted to the account of ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike In The Morning": "god, family, football... Baby is coming Monday don't worry I'll be there Sunday."

On Wednesday, Tillman created a stir when he said on WSCR-AM 670, "The wife is due any day, so hopefully this baby can stay in until after the game on Sunday. I hope she stays in -- I'm having another girl. Monday, for sure, but if she comes Sunday, I think I'm going to have to be at the hospital Sunday. So, I hope she stays in until after Sunday."

Tillman downplayed the possibility of missing the game after practice Wednesday.

"Man, you all are looking too much into that right now," Tillman said. "Next question. You all are looking way too much into that."

Tillman has a son and two daughters, including Tiana, who was born with a form of cardiomyopathy, a weakening of the heart and its pumping system that required a heart transplant in 2008.
