| Tom Brady threw for 100 yards, two touchdowns and an interception against the Eagles. |
What we learned ...
Tom Brady is officially back: The former league MVP started for the first time in nearly a year and the results were mostly solid outside of a first-quarter interception to Sheldon Brown (Brady got a little too much air under a pass intended for Randy Moss). Brady finished 10-of-15 for 100 yards and two touchdowns -- both to TE Chris Baker -- passing mostly out of the shotgun formation.

The Eagles signed Michael Vick: Overshadowing a strong performance from Donovan McNabb (11-of-18, 100 yards), Steve Wyche confirmed through agent Joel Segal that Vick has signed a two-year deal with the Eagles. Vick's first appearance in an Eagles uniform could come as early as Philadelphia's third preseason game -- a matchup with the Jaguars on Aug. 27.
Julian Edelman does a great Wes Welker impersonation: The former Kent State quarterback was drafted in the seventh round to be a wide receiver and return man, and put on a convincing performance Thursday. Edelman took back a punt 75 yards for a touchdown and added 37 yards on a team-high five receptions.
LeSean McCoy plays a lot like Brian Westbrook: The rookie RB showed off some speed and Westbrook-like elusiveness, but also proved he is not afraid of contact. McCoy posted a 5.5 yard per run average and added two receptions for 12 yards.
