It’s official. Michael Vick is now a full-fledged member of the Philadelphia Eagles (complete with practice privileges). Michael was removed from the Eagles’ exempt list today and added him to their 53-man roster. To make room on the team, receiver Hank Baskett was released. Keep in mind that while Michael is eligible to participate when the team resumes practice tomorrow, he is not eligible to play in a game until Week 3 when the Eagles host the Kansas City Chiefs.

The game was all but over. And after an “icing-on-the-cake” score by Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, he suffered a broken rib after being hit in the back (tackled) by Carolina Panthers cornerback Richard Marshall. The injury put a damper on an otherwise perfect Sunday of football as the Eagles pounded Carolina 38-10. Donovan was 10-of-18 for 79 yards and two TDs when he left the game in the third quarter.

Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed broke his own NFL record with a 108-yard interception return for a touchdown in a 36-7 drubbing of the Philadelphia Eagles this afternoon. Ed’s previous record was a 106-yard return back in 2004 against the Browns. The pick came off Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb. Ed had a pretty good game. He also intercepted Donovan McNabb and returned that one 43 yards. That gives him 1,063 interception return yards in his career, just 420 yards short of Rod Woodson’s NFL record.
