The oldest son of Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid was found dead in his bed at Eagles training camp this morning, NBC Sports reports. Garrett Reid, who had struggled with drugs in the past, was helping the Eagles' strength coaches at the camp, the Philadelphia Inquirer adds. Andy Reid has "been strong for us, we're going to be strong for him right now," said an emotional Eagles general manager, Howie Roseman, when he announced Garrett's death.
