Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha returned to practice Thursday but left after about 15 minutes with the same sore neck that has bothered him throughout the week.

Asomugha, signed as a free agent last year after spending his first eight seasons with Oakland, was injured on a pass play during a seven-on-seven drill on Monday.

Quarterback Michael Vick attempted to hit wide receiver DeSean Jackson near the left sideline, but Asomugha and Nate Allen, a third-year safety, converged as onlooking fans gasped.

Eagles coach Andy Reid said Tuesday that Asomugha suffered "whiplash-type symptoms and a split lip" but not a concussion.

Asomugha returned to the field Thursday but took part only in individual drills.
