COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers defensive tackle Brandon Mebane returned to practice on Wednesday after taking a two-week absence to be with his infant daughter, who was born with a heart condition.
Mebane, his wife Amena and their two children Mahailey and Makai have been in Omaha, Nebraska, receiving medical assistance after the birth of the couple's third child, a girl.
Makenna was born on November 12 with trisomy 13 (T-13). Because of the defective heart condition, his daughter does not have a heart valve and will require surgery in the future to repair.
