Falcons tackle Jake Matthews had a busier than expected on Thursday ahead of his team’s matchup vs. the Panthers.
On Thursday morning, Matthews had to fly back to Atlanta from Charlotte because his wife Meggi went into labor. Meggi delivered a baby boy in the afternoon in Atlanta, NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reported.
Even though the tackle was questionable before the game because of his last minute flight back to Atlanta, Matthews is good to go for the game.
Matthews, later, boarded another flight to travel back to Charlotte to rejoin his team ahead of Thursday Night Football and reportedly is traveling with Falcons owner Arthur Blank.
