ATLANTA � Michael Vick has been welcomed with boos in his return to Atlanta.
There were more boos than cheers when Vick made his first appearance on the Eagles� opening drive. He ran for 3 yards after taking the snap and then heard more boos when he returned to the sideline.

He returned to more boos two plays later and ran for 4 yards.
Vick was at the front of the pack of Eagles players as the team ran onto the field, and he was selected to serve as a team captain.
Vick was greeted with a hug from his former Falcons center, Todd McClure, before the coin toss. Atlanta receiver Roddy White also embraced Vick before the game.
There was a large turnout of fans wearing Vick�s No. 7 jerseys � both Falcons and Eagles. He received a warm greeting from his former teammates when captains met on the field for the pregame coin toss.
