PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Jason Kelce had a pretty good reason for missing practice on Wednesday.

The Eagles center and his wife, Kylie, welcomed their first child together, a girl named Wyatt Elizabeth Kelce.

Kelce shared a picture of his daughter on Instagram Thursday morning. He joked that baby Wyatt "Chunked up the Deuces on her way out," as she extended her two fingers up while clutching onto her mother.

The Eagles take on the New York Jets Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. No say yet whether or not Kelce will be on the field.
