“I just wanna thank those who’ve genuinely prayed for @morganakamomo & myself throughout this pregnancy,” Goodwin wrote on Instagram. “Unfortunately, we lost our baby boy due to some complications and had to prematurely deliver him early this morning around 4 am. Although we are hurt, I am grateful for the experience and grateful that God blessed me with a wife as courageous and resilient as Morgan.

The pain (physically, mentally, & emotionally) that she has endured is unbelievable. Please Pray for the Goodwin family.”
Goodwin was visibly emotional after scoring an 83-yard touchdown against the Giants Sunday. After scoring, he was surrounded by his teammates in support as he pointed to the sky. At the time, it seemed like the former Olympian was simply happy to get the 49ers their first win of the season, but it’s clear now that the man was operating on next to no sleep and processing the heart-wrenching loss of his child.
