Andy Reid released a statement on behalf of his family Monday evening.

The wording strongly suggests that Garrett Reid’s death was drug-related.

“Garrett’s road through life was not always an easy one,” the statement read. “He faced tremendous personal challenges with bravery and spirit. As a family, we stood by him and were inspired as he worked to overcome those challenges. Even though he lost the battle that has been ongoing for the last eight years, we will always remember him as a fighter who had a huge, loving heart.”

Jeremy Maclin left Monday afternoon’s practice early with cramps, according to the Eagles. Fellow wide receiver Jamel Hamler exited with a hamstring injury, but otherwise it was a quiet day on the injury front.

We did learn that Brent Celek (knee), Trent Cole (A.C. – shoulder) and Nate Allen (hamstring) are not all the way back. Cole and Celek both took part in individual drills, but all three ended up on the side with the rest of the rehabbing players doing some conditioning work.

Andy Reid’s son, Garrett, was found dead at training camp, Howie Roseman announced Sunday morning.

He was 29-years-old.

Lehigh University chief of police Edward Shupp said a 9-1-1 call was placed at 7:20 Sunday morning from Sayre Park dormitories. Garrett Reid was deceased upon the officer’s arrival.

Looking for an Eagles fix during your lunch hour? After you’re done checking out Birds 24/7, tune in to PFT Live as Tim joins Mike Florio with the latest news out of training camp. He’s scheduled to be on around 12:25. As they say over at PFT, bang it here for the link.

We should probably start with the feedback.

Since the announcement that we would be partnering with Philly Mag to bring you Birds 24/7, we have been overwhelmed by the support we have received. A big reason why this blog exists is because the idea of Sheil and Tim made simple sense: Combine two distinctive styles that could serve as a genuine complement to one another, and use the synergy to create a full-service home for Eagles fans. It is comforting to know that so many of you are warm to the idea.

So, thank you. We’ll work to meet your expectations.

The goal is to create a one-stop site that will bring you breaking news and original analysis while throwing a lasso around the web and pulling in all the pertinent info about your team. The coverage will be original and all-encompassing. It will be intense. We’ll be sentenced to the sofa more than once, undoubtedly.

What a great season to jump into this venture. The Eagles are coming off a devastatingly disappointing season and the head coach, ring-less for 13 years and counting, is in full fight-out-of-the-corner mode. Joe Banner has been exiled, the organization is potentially on the verge of a significant restructuring but no worries, says the quarterback, the Eagles have what it takes to create a dynasty. You get the feeling, one way or another, something big is about to go down.

So much to get into. So much on the line. So much fun to be had.

So let’s start it. We are extremely excited about this project and glad you will be a part of it. Big things ahead.
