Bill BelichickNew England Patriots coach Bill Belichick will fly to Philadelphia tomorrow to attend Garrett Reid’s funeral.
Reid, the son of Eagles coach Andy Reid, was found dead in a dorm room at Lehigh University, where the team’s training camp is held. The 29-year-old was assisting the team's strength and conditioning staff.
“Very sad. Andy is good friend of mine,” Belichick said after learning of the news Sunday. “My heart goes out to him and his family.”
Belichick will fly to funeral on Saints owner Tom Benson’s private jet along with New Orleans interim coach Joe Vitt and other members of the New Orleans coaching staff. Belichick reportedly "jumped at the opportunity" when Vitt invited him to come along, according to Nola.com.
The group is expected to return prior to the start of Tuesday's 1:30 p.m. joint practice, the first of two sessions scheduled before Thursday's preseason game.
