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.

Very sad. Even if he was sick his whole life it still hurts.

Zero2Cool (17h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (21h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (21h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (22h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (22h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (22h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (22h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (22h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (22h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (22h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (22h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (22h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (23h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (23h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (23h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (23h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
