PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles wide receiver Rueben Randle returned to the team Tuesday for the first mandatory minicamp practice after missing the last two weeks of OTAs following surgery to remove his gallbladder and hopes to leverage experience in Ben McAdoo's system to thriving in Doug Pederson's.

"Some of the terminology is the same," the former Giants wide receiver said of the Eagles offense compared to McAdoo's. "The concepts are kind of the same as well. I try to reiterate some of the things I learned in that offense in the past and bring it to this and kind of help me move forward in this offense."

Unfortunately for Randle, he had limited opportunities to showcase his talent to the coaching staff this spring because had his gallbladder removed in late May after experiencing pain that he said was so severe that he struggled to stand up.

"It was pretty bad, Randle said. I"m just happy that it's over. I'm getting there. It's still a little bit of soreness in there, but I'm fine running and things like that. Today I'll take a few reps to see how I feel and go from there."

Randle signed a one-year contract with the Eagles this offseason, hoping to take this season as a chance to 'prove it' and strike a big deal either in Philadelphia or elsewhere after the season. Already familiar with the concepts of the West Coast Offense thanks to his time in New York, the 25-year-old hopes to leverage that experience and comfort in the scheme to a big season in 2016.

After hauling in 57 receptions for 797 yards and eight touchdowns last season, Randle says that he likes what he's already seen from this offense in terms of his skill-set fitting jibing with the concepts of the scheme.

"It's the way everyone can find a piece and a place in this offense," Randle said is what he likes most. "They try to mold it around the players. Try to take your best attributes and spread it your way. As a receiver, I think that's something you can be excited about."

At 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, Randle is built to be an outside receiver and has played that spot for a majority of his career. It is entirely possible that Randle and second-year USC product Nelson Agholor wind up starting outside with Jordan Matthews in the slot. Regardless of position, though, Randle says that he offers the flexibility and experience to line up wherever the coaching staff sees best fit.

"I can do a little bit of both, but most of my career I've been an outside guy. That's where I'm most comfortable at. If I'm asked to go inside, I'll be able to do that as well."

"Yeah. I'm just trying to take full advantage of my opportunity. Whether that's as a No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3, I just want to go out and help the team win."
