Bradley Fletcher has said that the Philadelphia Eagles have received a "good lesson" during their practices with the New England Patriots this week.

The two teams have been sharing a practice field ahead of their pre-season game tomorrow evening.

The Eagles cornerback told the NFC East side's website: "[Patriots quarterback Tom Brady] releases the ball so fast and he's accurate and if there is any separation at all, the ball is going to be there.

"It was a good lesson. We have to be on top of our game to make plays. We are looking forward to the game. It's another chance to see him. He makes his reads and he makes great reads. This is great for us. It's going to help us as we go on."

The Eagles finished last in their division in 2012, winning just four of their 16 games.
