Jacksonville Jaguars long snapper Carson Tinker has had a pretty good past few days.
On Thursday, the Alabama alumnus participated in team drills with the Jaguars for the first time this year on the final day of Jacksonville's offseason program.
On Sunday, he's marking his first Father's Day in the title role.
Tinker is returning from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The knee injury, suffered in training camp last year, caused him to miss the entire 2017 NFL season.
But that injury came with a silver lining: It allowed Tinker to be immersed in the first few months of his son's life.
