The first day of practice (if that's what they want to call it) took place Tuesday at the NovaCare Complex. Thirty players total were out on the fields. It was an hour session that didn't consist of much besides warmups and some technique-oriented drills. Afterwards, Chip Kelly and Michael Vick talked for the first time this summer. (Watch here.)

Day 2 in the books.

• Michael Vick looked much more muscular than in years' past. In particular, his arms seemed to expand a few inches with muscle. Vick says he put on four pounds to try and better withstand the hits a quarterback takes.

"I've been doing a lot of curls, a lot of bench presses this offseason," he said. "Put my body in the best condition possible to withstand the hits. Everyone says I'm injury-prone, so I'm trying to fight that."

Vick, 33, said he now weighs 216 pounds. In comparison, the last time I covered the Eagles full-time in training camp (2010), he arrived at Lehigh weighing 207 pounds.

• Aside from the quarterbacks, two Eagles veterans were on the field during practice. Center Jason Kelce was in uniform but sat out the drills. Tight end James Casey went full-go. Casey and Kelce were allowed to participate because they were injured during minicamp. Still, they were there by choice, according to coach Chip Kelly. The practice lasted an hour and didn't contain any full-team drills (due to the limited number of players) or scrimmages.

• Running back Matthew Tucker and punter Brad Wing were placed on NFI earlier Tuesday. They were seen on the side field running sprints most of practice. It was a rather discouraging sign to see Tucker lagging behind the punter. Running backs coach Duce Staley also barked at Tucker after some of the sprints, obviously disappointed with the conditioning the rookie running back did this offseason. Tucker and Wing can't practice until they pass the conditioning test. They will take it again with the veterans on Thursday.

• The only player still on the field after the interview sessions was wide receiver Russell Shepard. The former LSU receiver was catching balls from the JUGS machine. Sheppard was also one of the last players on the field most days during OTAs. These are things the coaches notice. It may help Shepard earn a spot somewhere on the team.

• Cornerback Jordan Poyer caught punts during the special teams portion of practice. The seventh-round pick averaged 14.1 yards per return at Oregon State, where he was named an All-American his senior season.
