Brady, 43, spent time in Indianapolis alongside coach Philadelphia head Nick Sirianni for three seasons and can assess where teams will attack the Eagles’ offense.
Before that, Brady was the Colts’ offensive coordinator (2021-22) and QB coach (2019-20).
In his first season as offensive coordinator, Brady helped Indianapolis rank second behind the Eagles in rushing yards per game (149.4) and tied for ninth in points per game (26.5).
