PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles were back at it on Tuesday, holding a practice that was open to the media for the second straight day.

The feeling on Tuesday was much more relaxed than it was on Monday. Perhaps it was the intense heat, or maybe it was that for the first time since offseason training started, there wasn't over 100 media members there.

The day started off with head coach Chip Kelly addressing the media, providing updates on quarterback Sam Bradford, offensive lineman Evan Mathis and safety Earl Wolff.

Here are 10 observations from Tuesday's practice:

1. Sam Bradford: Bradford handled his normal workload on Tuesday, stretching with the entire team and then taking part in some seven-on-seven drills. If nothing else it is a positive sign that as his workload has increased, while minimally, he has not suffered any setbacks.

Bradford wasn't particularly sharp on Tuesday during the team drills. During one rep, his throw over the middle was too low and into the ground. On another, he checked it down to a running back. After shining on Monday, there wasn't much to take away from Bradford on Tuesday.

2. Tim Tebow: Tebow had one of his roughest days during these OTAs. While his throwing motion looks improved, and his release is quicker, Tebow has struggled with consistently delivering accurate passes. That was an issue again on Tuesday, when he threw the ball right into the ground while trying to hit a receiver in the flat.

3. Vinny Curry: Curry is entering the final year of his contract, and it looks like he is primed for a breakout season and a big pay day next year. The defensive end looks considerably faster and slimmer than he did last season, and it shows. During one drill, Curry flew through cones on the ground before hitting the sleds. Head coach Chip Kelly said before practice that Curry could see an increased role this season, and it looks like he is up for the challenge.

4. Travis Long: Kelly had high praise for Long before practice, saying the third-year player has shined during practices so far. Long is coming off of a torn ACL that cost him all of last season, but you wouldn't be able to tell watching him on the field. Long is one of the better athletes among the outside linebackers, and also has the ability to go inside if he needs to. At this point it seems Long has a roster spot if cuts were to be made today.

5. Earl Wolff: One player who hasn't impressed? Wolff. Wolff once again missed practice on Tuesday, making him four-for-four in being on sideline during practices that have been open to the media. That is bad news for Wolff, who has a golden opportunity to win a roster spot at a weak safety position. Kelly, however, did not sound pleased that Wolff hasn't been practicing. Wolff is going to need an outstanding training camp to make the team.

6. Marcus Smith: After missing the past week with a muscle injury, Smith was back at practice on Tuesday, and even got some reps with the first team defense. Smith doesn't have a chance of winning a starting job, but getting out on the practice field (and with the first-team defense no less) is a great sign.

7. Kiko Alonso: Alonso is beginning to take more-and-more reps with the first team defense, a sign that he will be starting in Week 1 against Atlanta. Alonso has looked impressive so far during OTAs, showing no signs of the torn ACL that he suffered last offseason.

8. Malcolm Jenkins: Jenkins was one of the top playmakers on the defense last season, and that has been the case during OTAs as well. Jenkins had a few near interceptions last week, and on Tuesday, he stripped the ball from receiver Jeff Maehl at the end of a drill. The Eagles could use another big season from the veteran.

9. Music: The artist of choice on Tuesday during practice? Drake, as a number of tracks from this mixtape blasted during practice. The album title, pictured below, could also be a metaphor for how Kelly might feel about Bradford later this season.

10. Jordan Matthews: Matthews has had an outstanding couple of practices so far this offseason, and looks primed to take a step forward during his second season. On Tuesday, however, Matthews dropped a few passes, which is rare to see from the sure-handed receiver.
