PRO FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE NFL : Oilers Spend Day Mourning Loss of Alm

The Houston Oilers tried to sort out their feelings Wednesday over Jeff Alm, a teammate who apparently committed suicide early Tuesday after his car hit a freeway guardrail and his best friend was killed.

Players met with Fellowship of Christian Athletes ministers before their afternoon workout. Some planned to attend a memorial service for Alm on Wednesday night. Others wanted to quiet the emotional upheaval in other ways.

“The greatest preacher in the world couldn’t help me in this situation,” defensive tackle Ray Childress said. “Sunday is going to come and we can’t stop it. The best thing we can do is get ready.”

The Oilers will wear decals of Alm’s No. 76 on their helmets for the rest of the season.
