Owls cancel media availability on day Garrett Reid found dead
Without providing an explanation, Temple coach Steve Addazio canceled Sunday's scheduled media availability after football practice.
The cancelation could have something to do with the passing of Garrett Reid, the oldest son of Eagles coach Andy Reid.
Garrett Reid's brothers are members of the Temple football team. Spencer Reid is a redshirt freshman running back. Britt Reid is an offensive graduate assistant.
The Inquirer's Jeff McLane reports that Garrett Reid, 29, was found dead in a Lehigh University dorm room Sunday morning. Garrett Reid had been assisting the Eagles during training camp.
