Eagles: Asomugha no concussion symptoms
BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Nnamdi Asomugha, who suffered a violent collision with Nate Allen during Monday's practice, has no concussion symptoms, according to an Eagles spokesman.
FROM EARLIER:
Nnamdi Asomugha is being evaluated for a concussion after he collided with Nate Allen on Monday.
The cornerback suffered a lip laceration and had a sore neck, the Eagles said.
Asomugha laid face down on the ground with little to no movement for close to five minutes before he finally rose to one knee. The cornerback then slowly stood, was helped to a cart and driven inside. Asomugha's shirt was bloodied and he held his head as he drove off.
Allen was down for a brief period, but he got up much quicker than Asomugha and returned to practice.
If Asomugha suffered a concussion it would be his second in a little over eight months. He left in the second quarter of the Seattle game on Dec. 1 of last year. He did not miss a game, however, partly because the Eagles did not play again until Dec. 11.
Joselio Hanson filled in for Asomugha at right cornerback after he left.
If only Nate Allen could deliver those kind of hits to the opposition!- Let Nnamdi just play Press Shut Down Man. and forget all this fancy zone stuff.— dmanphilly

- The Izell Jenkins (defensive backfield) is going to look like swiss cheese. The offense is going to need to be the second coming of the greatest show on turf this year if they want to win the division. At least Juan will be gone. Andy will still be here however. He's going to bring in Colonel Sanders to take Juan's place. Whether you like it or whether you don't like it, you know you'd better learn to love it. Fools' gold!
- Nnamdi is soft and a fraud....DRC is a fraud....Vick already hurt in the first preseason game...It's going to be a long season..Get rid of Castillio already!!! I mean come on...Reid has to go as well...This team has 8-8 written all over it..— Gregory1
- That's Great Greg (Brady Bunch reference!) but don't be so blindly optimistic about everything all the time. Things can go less than smoothly in life sometimes. I just don't want you to get your naive and trusting heart broken. BTW: THAT WAS SARCASM!! Lighten up or find something else to do with your time. It's only preseason. Why waste your time if you're convinced it's already all over?? Get a hobby, volunteer, go for a walk. Sheeeeeshh!
— Horst Muhlman lives on in all of us - Ah Dave ... It just says they collided , lets not get ahead of ourselves ...— ingy9
- Hahaha...good point....but then again, when he "collides" with the opposition, they score touchdowns or get first downs....Nnamdi did get knocked out! lol
- Hopefully come Sept.9 we will have a competitive team to put on the field and not just a bunch of walking wounded.— fanup
- "hard Work" will make his head feel better!— osi is hurt boohoo
- How are 2 of our secondary players hitting each other? Sounds like another "bad angle" was taken by Allen which would be typical. I wasn't there and this report provides little insight but this secondary needs practice hitting but not hitting each other! Hit the WR and RB's for christ sake Allen— connorjr
- Unbelievable. We must lead the league in D-backs hitting each other, I have never seen more collisions between players on the same side of the ball. I am sure the offensive player went on to score. Amazing— yourdaddy!
- maybe it knocked some sense in him
— Justicek - Under no circumstances should a safety and a corner be near that close in practice. Juan Castillo is completely out of place and is going to cost the team a lot more than his career. He's going to start costing others' as well, especially Andy. C'mon Andy, you have to see this guy is in over his head. Get him out of there already!!— voodoochile75
- Another genius comment. I guess this comes from your many years of Xbox? — DogBiscuitthedope
