UPDATE:Andy Reid stood composed at the podium as he took questions Wednesday just three days after his son died.

"I know coming back coaching is the right thing to do I know my son wouldn't want it any other way. He loved the Philadelphia Eagles," Reid said.

Reid indicated getting his football focus back isn't a challenge for him when he's at practice. "I've got that part down," he added.

His plan for working through his family's tragedy is the same way he handles life regularly, "fear nothing, attack everything."

Reid wouldn't divulge what he said to his players in a meeting Tuesday. Quarterback Michael Vick, however, said he is dedicating the season to Reid. The support from players and fans has overwhelmed the coach. "The outpouring was incredible, it builds comfort, builds strength in your family," he said.

In response to a question about whether the Garrett's death would serve to rally the team, Reid said that he "would never ask that." He hopes instead, people that have similar struggles to what his son faced would be able to use Garrett's story as a way to help themselves.

Reid and his wife, Tammy, are finding peace in their faith. "We understand Garrett's at peace and in good hands," he said.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- It was something Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid needed to do -- return to his team one day after burying his eldest son, Garrett for Wednesday's morning walk-through to prepare them for Thursday night's preseason opener.

The Eagles announced Reid would be on the sideline of this morning's walk-through and address the media afterward after nearly 1,000 family members, friends and the NFL supported Reid, wife, Tammy and their grieving family at Garrett Reid's emotional memorial service in suburban Philadelphia.

Owner Jeffrey Lurie expected as much from Reid after speaking to New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and others at Garrett's funeral.

"There were so many other coaches here today who talked abou how they returned after this type of situation,'' Lurie said. "Bill Belichick and his dad (Steve). Tony Dungy and his son (James). And Joe Philbin and his son (Michael). So many of them wanted to get right back out there with their teams.

"It will be therapy for Andy.''

Belichick coached a win over New Orleans in 2005 the night after learning his father Steve, an assistant coach at Navy for 33 years, died of heart failure.
