Rumors began circulating Friday night with the NFL Network reporting it Saturday morning. The Bills confirmed the tragedy Saturday afternoon. Ed Oliver\u2019s young son has tragically passed away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cOn behalf of the entire Buffalo Bills organization, we want to publicly express our condolences to Ed Oliver and his family on the devastating loss of his son. It\u2019s an unthinkable tragedy for any parent. We will continue to support Ed and his family as we all grieve this tragic loss,\u201d said general manager Brandon Beane in a statement released by the team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Bills and Oliver have not released any details at this time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The incident reportedly occurred in late June at Oliver\u2019s suburban Houston home, where first responders were called for an unresponsive young male who had been pulled from a pool. Oliver was born and raised in Houston and played for the University of Houston.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Oliver has been in attendance at the team\u2019s training camp throughout July and August but missed this week\u2019s joint practices in Cleveland with an injury. Some outlets have connected the absence to his son\u2019s death but we have no indication that is the case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Our condolences go out to Oliver and his family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Buffalo Bills are mourning the loss of the young son of defensive tackle Ed Oliver.
