For the first time since the mandatory minicamp ended back in July, the Eagles entire team took the field on Thursday for the first full-team practice of training camp.

The practice was a light one, with the players not wearing pads and working mostly at half-speed.

Still, there was plenty to learn from the close to two-hour session.

Here is what stood out and what you need to know:

CARSON WENTZ

It is tough to get a read on a quarterback's day during a 10/10/10 drill, since often a quarterback will be told to throw an interception, or throw a pass in a place he wouldn't otherwise.

One thing, however, was clear on Thursday -- Wentz still has a cannon for an arm.

Wentz's best pass of the day came without any defenders on the field, when he hit receiver Alshon Jeffery around 45-50 yards down the field on a bomb that hit Jeffery right in the hands as he crossed the goal line.

Don't Edit

It'll be interesting to see if Wentz takes more shots down the field this season because of the addition of both Jeffery and Torrey Smith, both players who in theory should give him down-the-field targets.

ALSHON JEFFERY

The more Wentz and Jeffery practice together, the more and more they are connecting on the field.

Jeffery caught four or five passes from Wentz on Thursday in 11-on-11 drills. Most of the catches were short and across the middle of the field, but one was a long pass down the sideline which Jeffery pulled in as he was falling out of bounds. It might have been overturned in a game, but it was an impressive catch.

Don't Edit

Jeffery's day wasn't perfect, however. On one play he pulled in a pass from Wentz, but as he went to turn up the field, the ball was stripped away and out of his hands by cornerback C.J. Smith.

OFFENSIVE STARTERS

One benefit of the 10/10/10 practice was it gave us a good first look at what the Eagles' depth chart is entering camp.

Here is a look:

First Team: Jason Peters, Isaac Seumalo, Jason Kelce, Brandon Brooks, Lane Johnson....Carson Wentz...Alshon Jeffery, Torrey Smith, Jordan Matthews....Zach Ertz...LeGarrette Blount

Don't Edit

Second Team: Matt Tobin, Chance Warmack, Stefen Wisniewski, Josh Andrews, Halapoulivaati Vaiti....Nick Foles...Nelson Agholor, Marcus Johnson, Greg Ward...Trey Burton....Darren Sproles

Other Notes: When the Eagles went into a two-tight end set, it was Ertz and Burton that were on the field. Donnel Pumphrey got a few reps with the first-team offense, but dropped the only pass thrown his way.

DEFENSIVE STARTERS

Here is look at the Eagles' defensive depth chart:

First team: Brandon Graham, Fletcher Cox, Timmy Jernigan, Vinny Curry....Nigel Bradham, Jordan Hicks...Jalen Mills, Patrick Robinson, Ron Brooks...Malcolm Jenkins, Rodney McLeod.

Don't Edit

Second team: Chris Long, Destiny Vaeao, Gabe Wright, Derek Barnett...Kamu Grugier-Hill, Joe Walker...C.J. Smith, Rasul Douglas, Aaron Grymes...Ron Brooks, Jaylen Watkins.

7 KEYS TO A SUCCESSFUL EAGLES CAMP

Don't Edit

JORDAN MATTHEWS

Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews was out on the field Thursday and didn't show any signs of having knee issues that prevented him from taking part in mandatory minicamp.

Matthews didn't take part in every rep with the first team, but he looked good in the ones he did.

During one 11-on-11 drill, Matthews beat his defender down the field and made a nice catch as he was falling out the back of the end zone, hauling in the 40-plus yard pass.

Don't Edit

A healthy Matthews is a big deal for the Eagles offense. Over the past three seasons Matthews has been one of the best slot receivers in the NFL, totaling 225 catches and 19 touchdowns.

If Matthews can stay on the field for 16 games, and the Eagles have the full compliment of their other weapons, the offense could take a big step forward this season.

DON CHERRY

Every year there is one player that seemingly comes out of nowhere to make the team.

This year that player could be linebacker Don Cherry.

Cherry has not shined much on defense, but on Thursday he lined up with the first-team unit on special teams. Nearly every other player on the unit would be considered a lock to make the team.

Don't Edit

Could Cherry sneak his way onto the roster?

Special teams is certainly going to be the way to do it, as special teams coach Dave Fipp has plenty of say when it comes to keeping guys strictly to help his unit.

Combine that with the fact the Eagles are extremely thin at linebacker, and Cherry might very well end up on the 53-man roster.

8 PLAYERS WHO HAVE HELPED THEMSELVES AT CAMP

CATCH OF THE DAY

The catch of the day belonged to receiver Mack Hollins.

Early on in the practice during an 11-on-11 drill, backup quarterback Nick Foles threw a pass to Hollins along the sideline. The pass was slightly high, but Hollins stretched and fully extended himself to make the catch.

Hollins has impressed so far as a receiver and he very well might end up getting some snaps on offense during the regular season.

WHAT'S NEXT?

The Eagles' practice Thursday was a light one -- but that is about to change.

On Friday the Eagles will practice at 8:45 A.M., a practice that is expected to be more intense than the one on Thursday.

Then on Saturday the team heads over to Lincoln Financial Field, where the pads will go on -- and the hitting might begin.
