San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin flew to Tampa, Florida with his teammates before a Week 12 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past season. He did not play in the game. Goodwin instead flew back alone to the Bay Area to deal with a family matter. He did not return to action until the 49ers' Week 14 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
Nothing else was revealed about the personal issue the Goodwin family was dealing with. The receiver declined to comment on the matter out of respect for his family's wishes.
"If they give me the OK, then I'd be willing to talk about it," Goodwin told reporters on December 7. "Until then, I'll just kind of keep it between us."
It turns out, a year after dealing with the loss of their child after pregnancy complications arose, Marquise and his wife, Morgan, sadly found themselves in a similarly devastating situation.
The couple revealed via YouTube on Wednesday that they lost twin boys after Morgan went into pre-term labor.
"This November, I had to miss two games," Marquise said. "We experienced another traumatic event in our life that we had to overcome. It was tough at that point of the season."
"I finally have the courage to open up and talk about it because I really didn't want to," Morgan adds after going through the details of the loss.
You can watch their emotional YouTube video, entitled "We Have Some Explaining To Do," below.
"We appreciate you all supporting us so much through this time," Marquise said.

The San Francisco 49ers turning in wide receiver Ricky Pearsall's name while on the clock with the No. 31 overall pick took many people by surprise. As the selection sinks in, fans are getting more excited about the potential of adding a sticky-handed receiver like Pearsall to the already talented lineup.
"He just plays the position real well," head coach Kyle Shanahan said of his new offensive weapon. "I mean, whether he was outside, inside, either receiver, all three of the positions, he can separate down the field, he can separate underneath. He's got really good hands, extremely smart, very well developed.
"You can tell he is—I guess I'd call it a gym rat or something—because you can just see he's worked on his routes, put in a lot of hours

Following his selection, Cowing spoke with reporters and revealed his admiration for a receiver within the division—Seattle Seahawks veteran Tyler Lockett—whom he's modeled his game after.
"As I was growing up on my football journey, I looked at Tyler Lockett a lot," Cowing told reporters via Zoom. "Very similar in stature. I kind of resembled my game after him a

Frank Gore Jr., son of the 49ers' all-time leading rusher, is joining the Buffalo Bills.
Terique was among several undrafted free agents who agreed to sign with the 49ers on Saturday. The player always understood that his path to the NFL would likely start as an undrafted free

Albert Breer joined Colin Cowherd's FS1 show, "The Herd," on Monday morning to share his insights on the San Francisco 49ers' wide receiver situation and the implications of selecting Ricky Pearsall with the No. 31 overall pick.
Leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft, speculation swirled about Brandon Aiyuk's future. While the 49ers emphasize Aiyuk's importance to the team and prioritize signing him to a contract extension, speculation persisted about potential moves by general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan.
"Yes, the Niners are looking at the receiver position and wanted to create flexibility for themselves," Breer told Cowherd. "And I look at this a little bit like a
