Asomugha back at practice after concussion

Share

Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha practiced Monday just four days after suffering a concussion during the Eagles' loss to the Seahawks in Seattle.

Head coach Andy Reid said on his WIP radio show Monday evening that Asomugha has already been cleared through the NFL-mandated concussion testing protocol by an independent neurosurgeon.

Reid said after the game Thursday that Asomugha had suffered a concussion and a stinger.

Reid said Asomugha did well Monday at the Eagles first practice since their 31-14 loss to the Seahawks in Seattle on Thursday evening.

Its been a difficult year all-around for Asomugha, who struggled much of the season to adjust to the hybrid safety-cornerback role new defensive coordinator Juan Castillo created for him, then injured his knee in practice two weeks ago before suffering the concussion Thursday night.

Asomugha, in his first year with the Eagles after signing a five-year, 60 million contract, has three interceptions this year.
