Summary
Josh Allen said after Buffalo's Week 2 preseason game Saturday that he felt "sad and angry" about how a reporter publicized Ed Oliver's family tragedy.
Tony Farmer had posted X threads Friday criticizing NFL media for not revealing the news sooner, even though many local and national reporters had honored the Oliver family's wishes for privacy.
Allen said Bills teammates have tried to support Oliver by giving him space while still being around him, rather than reopening the wound during his grief.
Oliver's 2-year-old son drowned in the family's Texas pool in late June, and the loss has since rallied support around the Bills defensive lineman and his family.
