BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — Andy Reid has returned to the Philadelphia Eagles a day after his 29-year-old son’s funeral.
Garrett Reid was found dead Sunday morning in his dorm room at Lehigh University where he was assisting the team’s strength and conditioning coach during training camp.
Andy Reid said Wednesday that coming back is “the right thing to do.” He plans to coach the preseason opener against Pittsburgh on Thursday night.
He said, “I’m a football coach. That’s what I do. My son wouldn’t want it any other way. He loved the Philadelphia Eagles.”
