The Eagles returned to the practice field on Wednesday for their second day of mandatory minicamp.

Unlike Tuesday's practice, which had to be moved up due to a power outage at the NovaCare Complex, Wednesday's session started on time.

Who stood out?

Here are some observations from practice:

CARSON WENTZ

After a rough practice on Tuesday, Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz bounced back in a big way on Wednesday.

Wentz was razor sharp throughout the practice and did a great job with his down-the-field passes. During a two-minute drill early on in practice, Wentz dropped back and hit receiver Nelson Agholor perfectly in stride for what was roughly a 50-yard touchdown pass. The throw could not have been better, hitting Agholor right in the hands deep down the field.

Wentz also displayed his arm strength on Wednesday, firing off a few passes while on the run to his receivers along the sideline. When Wentz is on you can tell he doesn't mind taking more chances with the ball, and on Wednesday, those chances turned into completions.

Here are Wentz's stats from Wednesday:

Reps: 25

Stats: 13/18, 2 TD, 1 INT

Wentz's lone interception of the day came on what seemed to be a miscommunication between the quarterback and receiver Torrey Smith.

During an 11-on-11 drill, Wentz dropped back and had plenty of time before firing it down the field to Smith. Smith, however, seemed to cut too far over toward the sideline while the ball floated down the middle of the field, where it was easily picked off by safety Rodney McLeod.

The interception, however, was the lone blemish on the day for Wentz in what was perhaps his most impressive showing of the offseason workouts.

NELSHON AGHOLOR

Receiver Nelson Agholor has had an outstanding offseason and it continued on Wednesday with another strong showing.

In addition to the touchdown he hauled in from Wentz mentioned above, the two also connected on another deep touchdown later on during practice.

The second was similar to the first, with Agholor simply running by the secondary and getting behind them fairly easily before pulling in the pass right before he crossed the goal line.

Don't Edit

Agholor looks lighting quick out on the field, very confident and has done a great job catching the ball.

Even though the team is not even in training camp yet, Agholor has given them plenty of reason to be optimistic about him potentially taking a big step forward next season.

OFFENSIVE LINE

So far during offseason workouts the defensive line has been mauling the offensive line, but that was not the case on Wednesday.

The offensive line more than held its own on Wednesday, giving Wentz plenty of time in the pocket to sit back and survey the field. Because of the strong play from the offensive line the offense was much better than it was on Tuesday.

Tackle Lane Johnson seemed to have a particularly strong day, not allowing much -- if any -- pressure on Wentz.

SHELTON GIBSON

At this point rookie receiver Shelton Gibson dropping a pass is not news -- it is almost expected.

Gibson dropped another pass on Wednesday, but he did have a moment during team drills that was positive.

Running with the third team in an 11-on-11 drill, Gibson caught a tough pass in traffic across the middle, holding onto the ball despite being draped by two defenders.

Although there wasn't any hitting, and pads might have changed things, it must have felt good for Gibson -- and the Eagles coaches -- to make the catch.

MIKE GROH RETURNS

The difference at Eagles practice when wide receiver coach Mike Groh is there and when he isn't is very noticeable.

On Wednesday, Groh was back at practice after missing the previous two days due to a family issue, and the receivers seemed to be much better off for having Groh there.

The drills that Groh has the receivers run through seem much more complex than the ones last year's receivers coach Greg Lewis put them through. In one moment, they might running through a ladder, cutting around a pair of flags, then catching the ball as they are hit with a yellow, padded stick.

Then they might be catching tennis balls one-handed as they shuffle side-to-side.

It is early, and the receivers still have much to prove, but so far it looks like the biggest addition the team has made this offseason at receiver isn't a player -- it is Groh.

DORIAL GREEN-BECKHAM MISSING

Eagles receiver Dorial Green-Beckham is facing an uphill battle to make the team, and missing practice isn't going to help -- but that is exactly what he did on Wednesday due to an injury.

There is no word yet on how serious the injury is, but Green-Beckham can not afford to miss any time as he tries to fight his way onto the roster.

NAJEE GOODE

Linebacker Najee Goode is making the most of the spring practices.

Goode has been around the ball constantly this spring, and that continued on Wednesday, as he batted away a Wentz pass early on in an 11-on-11 drill.

Goode is not a lock to make the roster, but considering he is a strong special teams player and he is doing a great job on defense, his chances of making it are very high at this point.

BEAU ALLEN

Defensive tackle Beau Allen did not practice on Wednesday as he continues to recover from a chest injury he suffered earlier this offseason.

Allen did offer some good news after practice, however, saying that he feels great and his rehab is ahead of schedule. Allen also did not rule out maybe doing some work during training camp.

Allen's health as he recovers from his injury is going to be huge as the Eagles construct their 53-man roster, as they have to decide if they carry him initially or put him on the PUP to start the season.

Don't Edit

CJ SMITH

Cornerback CJ Smith picked off a pass on Wednesday, his third interception in a team setting this offseason.

Smith has done a great job making the most of his chances during OTAs and minicamps. At this point he seems close to a lock to make the roster, especially since he has spent some time practicing with the first-team special teams unit.

ZACH ERTZ

The work that Wentz and tight end Zach Ertz have put in together this offseason is starting to pay off.

Wentz and Ertz connected twice on Wednesday for long completions, one going for close to 30 yards down the field.

It is clear the chemistry that Wentz has with Ertz as opposed to the other players on offense considering the two played together last season.

One thing Ertz has always been clear about since being drafted by the Eagle is his desire to have some stability at the quarterback position, and it seems he is finally starting to see the benefits of having that with Wentz.
