PHILADELPHIA -- For the first time since Week 1 of the 2016 season, the Eagles held a practice on Wednesday without Carson Wentz as their starting quarterback.

Life with Nick Foles as their new signal caller is officially underway for the Eagles, who are preparing for both life without Wentz and the Giants this week, their opponent this Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

How did Foles do in his first shot at showing life will go on without Wentz?

Here is a review of his first practice from the players that were there to see it:

ALSHON JEFFERY, WR

"It was good. It wasn't bad, it was great experience. Nick is a Pro Bowl quarterback, he is a veteran, been in the league for six years ... we stuck with out game plan, ran with it, and it is what it is. We are going to make adjustments during the game, but we are going to stick with our game plan ... Nick throws the ball a little different than Carson. He throws it a lot higher than Carson, the ball is floating a lot more. But other than that, I don't think there will be many adjustments."

MARCUS JOHNSON, WR

"He looked smooth. There are still some kinks that he need to fix, as well as everyone else, as far as chemistry and timing ... Not connecting on every route, which is things that happen at every practice, but sometimes it happens more than often, so sometime you just have to connect ... But Foles is Foles. He is a good quarterback ... he has been here the whole way through, it shouldn't take too long to get acclimated."

"Nick looked good. Stepping into a role he has already been in before, when he was here and when he was with the Rams. So it was nothing new to him. He has gone about it like a true professional. There wasn't really any issues. More so, from a running back standpoint, guys getting used to how he hands the ball off now, just because of the change between him and Carson, so that will be a little bit different. Getting used to his cadence. Real aggressive cadence. Nick makes you want to jump. But he looked good, and practice went how it is supposed to go."

BRANDON BROOKS, OL

"He looked good. He's played quarterback in this league before, he's been a starter, he's been a Pro Bowl player. He is older in the league now too. So he knows how to handle it. Knows what it is expected. It was the exact same offense. Nothing changed. He looked good. He looked like a starting quarterback out there."

JASON KELCE, C

"I thought Nick did a great job. Especially for a guy going in there, he hasn't had a lot of playing time or reps with the starters. I thought there was a lot of good things out there on the field. We still have to iron some things out I'm sure. You would have to ask Nick and the receivers about how today went more than I'd have a clue about that, but I thought the snap count, the communication between me and him was pretty good today."

TORREY SMITH, WR

"It was awesome. It didn't really seem like that big of a change because he has been there before. He is a vet, he is very smart, he knows how to make plays. Probably the biggest difference there will be going forward is that, no disrespect to Nick, but he isn't the fastest guy in the world. Carson is more mobile. But Nick can make plays as well, and he has played at a very high level ... we have had reps during the offseason, but not like it is going to be now. But we are lucky have a guy that has played at a high level that was on our team as a backup. He could start on a lot of teams. I think he'll do a great job for us."

"He looked the same as he looked every practice. It isn't his first practice. He is a veteran, he practices every day. Nothing out of the usual."
