Russell Wilson Hopes He'll Be Allowed in Delivery Room with Ciara amid COVID-19

Seattle Seahawks star Russell Wilson and singer Ciara are expecting their second child in the coming weeks, and the quarterback doesn't know if he'll be allowed into the hospital to witness the birth.

Wilson told Joel McHale on Jimmy Kimmel Live the threat of COVID-19 may force him to wait elsewhere when his wife goes into labor.

"I think she needs me in the hospital room," Wilson told McHale, who was filling in for Kimmel (h/t TMZ). "Last time she grabbed my hand, she almost broke my hand."

Wilson is one of a number of athletes who are due to have a child when sports like the NBA, MLB, NHL and NFL resume over the next month.
