Randall Cobb and his family survived a house fire at their Nashville, Tenn. home earlier this week.
Cobb's wife Aidya posted to her Instagram story that a Tesla charger "caught fire in the garage late last night and quickly spread" throughout the house.
The Cobbs and their three sons were able to make it out of the house. Randall Cobb also went back into the house to rescue the family's dog, Louie, who survived the situation as well.
"We are lucky to be alive," Aidya Cobb wrote on Instagram.

The Cobbs released a joint statement on Instagram thanking the Nashville Fire Department for its "swift action" in trying to contain the blaze.
"I can't get the image of the brave firefighter getting into position out of my head," Randall Cobb wrote. "He didn't even have water to shoot yet. I truly thought the cars were going to explode and that we would lose him to this tragedy. He is a true hero."
However, while the family was able to get out of the house, they did so "with nothing but the clothes on our back and no shoes on our feet," Aidya Cobb wrote.
The family also shared videos of the damage from the fire, showing burned cars and bicycles from the garage.
"Unfortunately we don't know how much, if anything, will be salvageable," Randall wrote. "But this has been a reminder that nothing is more important than the health of our family.
Many NFL athletes commented on Cobb's post and sent well wishes to the 33-year-old wide-out. That included his former teammates Dak Prescott, Breece Hall, CJ Mosley and Mason Crosby, among others.

Cobb played for the Jets during the 2023 NFL season but is currently a free agent. It isn't clear whether he planned to play again after stints with the Packers, Cowboys, Texans and Jets.
For now, he and his family are just thankful to be OK and to have support as they recover from the life-threatening incident.
"We are grateful for our incredible community in Nashville, and the support from our close friends that have given us a temporary roof over our heads and shoulders to lean on," they wrote.
