Jets RB Washington skipped practice for birth of son

Just 9 days after he returned to the field, Jets RB Leon Washington again skipped practice. But this time for a new reason--his fiancee just gave birth to a baby boy on Wednesday morning. The baby's name was already known to be Noel, as Leon spelled backwards.

Jets coach Rex Ryan considered Washington made the right decision this time. He told reporters that missing kid's birth is the biggest regret in his coach career, so he was glad to know that Washington just chose to do the right thing.

Before last Monday Washington had skipped the team’s voluntary practices because of conract disputes, but he returned to the field on Monday practice. I think it is possible we will see him playing on field again soon.
