General Manager Howie Roseman
Statement: "Good morning. I have some heartbreaking news to share with you all. It is with great sadness that I tell you that Garrett Reid, the oldest son of Coach (Andy) Reid, was found dead this morning in his room here at training camp. This is a tough morning for all of us in the Eagles family. Garrett grew up with this team and this makes this news even harder for us to process. Our hearts go out to Andy, (wife) Tammy, (sons) Britt, Spencer, (daughters) Crosby and Drew Ann. Coach has spent the morning informing his family.
"We ask sincerely that you respect the family's privacy during this time. The team has been informed of this news, as have (Chairman/CEO) Jeffrey (Lurie) and Christina (Weiss Lurie). The chief will speak to you in a minute about what is known about this event. From a football perspective, I can tell you that Andy has asked that we go forward with training camp. I'm going to turn it over to (Lehigh University Police) Chief (Edward) Shupp in a minute. On a personal note, we've been with Andy for a long time. He's always been strong for us. We're going to be strong for him right now. As a father and a friend, we're all hurting. Thank you."
