Trey Flowers welcomed another ‘blessing’ into the world this weekend

Trey Flowers had a pretty big weekend.

The defensive end was absent from Patriots practice on Friday, generating some mild panic regarding his status for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. But thanks to his Instagram post, it’s clear that Flowers’ absence wasn’t injury related at all.

Flowers welcomed his new daughter, Shylo Reign Flowers, on Friday. He shared a picture of her swaddled in, of course, a flowery ensemble on Instagram Friday night.

The 25-year-old was active for Sunday’s 24-10 win over the Vikings and notched a sack on Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, bringing his season total to 4.
