Eagles' Reid to Take Leave of Absence

Reid will take a temporary leave of absence through the middle of March to deal with family issues, team officials announced Monday, Feb. 12, 2007. Reid's decision comes less than two weeks after two of his sons, Garrett and Britt, got into separate legal trouble on the same day. (AP Photo/Rusty Kennedy, File)PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Andy Reid is facing a crisis far tougher than a quarterback controversy or a disruptive player. The Philadelphia Eagles coach will leave the team for a month to deal with developments that have rocked his family the past two weeks — one son tested positive for heroin, another was arraigned on drug and weapons charges.

The team said the leave will last until mid-March.

"He's not going to come into the office. His priorities will be his family for that period of time, but he will be available to have a couple of calls with us and collaborate and if he needed to be here for a visit of a free agent," Eagles president Joe Banner said Monday. "He will retain final say over whatever we do."
