SOUTH PHILADELPHIA -- Football is back in South Philadelphia!

Quarterback Carson Wentz and the newest Eagles hit the field for the first time this season on Monday.

The team works out for the first time in full on Thursday.

Head Coach Doug Pederson says the ingredients are there for a playoff-ready team... they just have to come together in the right way.

"I'm excited about the guys we have, the new additions, the draft picks, the free agents. I think they've helped our roster, they've helped in adding some talent around Carson. That was important for us this spring and we've been able to do that - then just mixing all that together," Pederson said.

The Eagles play their first preseason game against the Packers in Green Bay on August 10.
