Detroit/München - Es gibt Tage, an denen rückt der Sport in den Hintergrund. Für die Detroit Lions und vor allem für Wide Receiver Marvin Jones war das am vergangenen Wochenende der Fall. Der 29-Jährige, der aufgrund einer Knöchelverletzung nach Week 14 auf die Injury Reserve List gesetzt wurde, hat einen schweren Verlust zu beklagen: Sein erst sechs Monate alter Sohn Marlo verstarb am Freitag plötzlich. Die Lions gaben dies am Wochenende per Instagram bekannt.

Die Lions schreiben: "Heute früh wurden wir von Marvin und Jazmyn Jones über den plötzlichen Tod ihres jüngsten Sohnes Marlo informiert. Die Lions werden Marvin und Jazmyn in dieser schwierigen Zeit voll unterstützen. Marvin und Jazmyn verkörpern die wahre Bedeutung einer Familie, und das Beispiel, das sie gesetzt haben, hat viele in unserer Gemeinschaft inspiriert. Wir danken allen für die Unterstützung. Im Namen der Familie Jones bitten wir alle darum, ihre Privatsphäre zu respektieren."

Die Todesursache wurde nicht bekanntgegeben. Der bewegende Abschiedsbrief, den Marvin Jones auf seinem Instagram-Profil zusammen mit einem Foto publizierte, lässt vermuten, dass das Baby schon länger unter gesundheitlichen Problemen litt. Jones schreibt: "Gestern hat der Herr ein Stück Herz meiner Familie nach Hause gerufen, Marlo. Es ist kaum zu glauben, dass unser kleiner Engel, unser Kämpfer vom ersten Tag an, unser Sohn "Marlito", leider verstorben ist und nicht mehr bei uns ist. Marlo, die Freude, die du uns jeden Tag mit diesem Lächeln und dieser Energie gebracht hast, war wie der Himmel auf Erden. Du wirst immer in unseren Herzen sein. Wir werden immer an Dich denken."

Weiter schreibt er: "Wir hatten nicht die Gelegenheit, deine ersten Worte zu hören (es wäre auch auf Spanisch gewesen). Wir haben nicht mitbekommen, dass du mit deinen Brüdern und deiner Schwester gerannt bist - du bist jeden Tag mit deinen Augen mit ihnen mitgerannt. Wir wissen, dass alles, was wir von nun an tun werden, gemeinsam mit dir geschehen wird. Bei jedem Schritt, den wir unternehmen, wirst du bei uns sein. Wann immer wir einen schlechten Tag haben, werden wir an dein Lächeln denken. Wir vermissen dich schon jetzt, Kumpel, und werden dich für immer lieben. Ruhe dich friedlich aus, unser süßer Junge. Du hast nun deine Flügel bekommen."

Marvin und Jazmyn Jones haben fünf gemeinsame Kinder. Erst an Weihnachten postete die Familie bei Instagram ein Video, in dem die Familie fröhlich "Merry Christmas" wünscht. Der kleine Marlo liegt friedlich im Arm seines großen Bruders.

Niemand konnte zu diesem Zeitpunkt ahnen, dass kurze Zeit später das Schicksal das Leben dieser Familie auf tragischste Art verändern würde.

Here's a link to the video Jones posted on Christmas in which his little boy is still very much alive.

No idea. The cause of death hasn't been released. But Jones implies in his Instagram tribute that the little guy had been sick his entire life, so I'm guessing some sort of congenital disease.

Martha Careful (3h) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (4h) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (20h) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.
Zero2Cool (21h) : And the OL protections seem to be good.
Zero2Cool (21h) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.
Zero2Cool (21h) : -3 buwahhhahaaha
Mucky Tundra (21h) : 4th
Zero2Cool (22h) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (23h) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though
TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes
Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
