It's an emotional week for Washington Redskins defensive end Stephen Bowen.
On Friday, Bowen is expecting his son to be released from the hospital.
Stephen III was born four months premature, and his weight is now up to 6 pounds, 5 ounces.
And on Monday night, Bowen returns to face his old team when the Redskins visit the Dallas Cowboys.
Teammates admire how Bowen has been able to handle football and family.
He often goes straight to the hospital after practice.
Coach Mike Shanahan says it shows that Bowen is "mentally tough."
