Thankfully, McCarthy's absence wasn't due to any sort of injury. Instead, he wasn't at practice because he had something much more important in his life to turn his attention to.

According to the Minnesota Star Tribune's Ben Goessling on Thursday, McCarthy's fiancée went into labor, and he missed practice to be with her and welcome their baby boy into the world.
