Browns RB Carlos Hyde is on baby watch during Thursday game vs. Jets
Carlos Hyde will likely be a new dad before the end of the Browns’ game on Thursday Night Football.
Cleveland Browns running back Carlos Hyde is a focal point of his team’s offense, but he has other things on his mind than just the New York Jets.
According to NFL Network’s Omar Ruiz, Hyde is due to become a dad any minute:
According to a couple of team sources, #Browns RB Carlos Hyde is expecting the birth of his child any minute now. He’s expected to come straight to the stadium from hospital in time to play. I’m told labor was induced last night, so a potentially long & joyful day for the Hydes.

While the hope was that Hyde could get to the stadium after the birth of his son, he ended up making the journey to FirstEnergy Stadium before the birth.

Can’t wait to meet my lil man!

The former 49ers running back is an Ohio native, who attended Ohio State, and joined the Browns this offseason on a three-year, $15 million deal.
On top of the exciting day for his family, Thursday is also Hyde’s birthday. He and his son may end up with a shared birthday so long as the birth happens before midnight. Either way, the night is going to be a memorable one for the Hyde.
