Bills' Ed Oliver mourns death of 2-year-old son

In the quiet of a Texas summer, a 2-year-old boy named Ed was found unresponsive in a residential pool in Harris County on June 28, and the world he left behind includes a grieving father who happens to play before thousands each Sunday. Ed Oliver, defensive tackle for the Buffalo Bills, now carries a loss that no public role or professional achievement can contextualize — the death of a child, which belongs to a category of sorrow that humbles all other human concerns. His team has offered words and pledged presence, knowing that some wounds require more than an organization can give.
