GREEN BAY, Wis. — Andrew Quarless missed the first two practices of Green Bay Packers training camp after his daughter died at birth last week. The sixth-year tight end revealed the news Monday.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy originally said Quarless was excused from practice for a "positive personal situation" on Thursday before changing his tone on Friday, saying Quarless was dealing with a "very difficult family situation."
Quarless returned to practice Saturday in a limited capacity and addressed the media for the first time following Monday's padded practice at Ray Nitschke Field. A few of Quarless' family members attended the practice, including his 5-year-old son.
