As Monday’s practice got underway, The Athletic’s Daniel Popper reported that Alohi Gilman was not out on the field to start the day and he did not make an appearance as the session went on. When the media was finally able to ask about his absence, head coach Jim Harbaugh let everyone know that Gilman and his wife welcomed their first child, a daughter, into the world this morning.
When asked about the absence, Harbaugh erupted into a resounding, “THE TEAM GOT BIGGER AND STRONGER TODAY!” which left the entire press conference silent as no one quite knew what he meant.
