In an emotional social media post, Colts center Ryan Kelly announced the tragic death of his infant daughter, Mary Kate, who suffered heart failure halfway through his wife's pregnancy.

Kelly missed his team's Week 15 game against the Colts, which was a day after his daughter's birth.

"Nothing made me happier than being your Dad," Kelly wrote. "You gave your Mom and I that gift. You were simply a miracle and always will be. I’m sorry you never got to open those sweet eyes and see us or take your first steps but you have angel wings now.
