It sounds like there was quite a scary scene at Eagles practice Monday afternoon.

Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha and safety Nate Allen collided in mid-air as they tried to break up a pass intended for DeSean Jackson. As several Eagles beat writers have reported on Twitter, both men went to the ground but Asomugha took the brunt of the damage.

He was left face down on the turf for several minutes before the Eagles medical staff helped him to his feet and to a cart that took him away from practice. Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports there wasblood on his shirt and that Asomugha, who suffered a concussion last December, held his head in his hand as he rode off the field. Allen got to his feet under his own power and remained in practice.

There’s no update on his condition at this point. We’ll pass one along as soon as we hear it.

UPDATE: McLane reports that Asomugha has a lacerated lip and sore neck and that he is being evaluated for a concussion.

Jaguars defensive tackle Terrance Knighton has offered up an apology today, a day after he criticized Chad Johnson’s wife, Evelyn Lozada, for telling the police that Johnson head-butted her.

Following the news that the Dolphins had released Johnson as a result of his arrest for domestic violence, Knighton went on Twitter and suggested that Lozada was wrong to go to the police because a domestic violence arrest can damage an NFL player’s career.

I'm not saying that it was ok for the headbutt, but did she really feel like her life was threatened enough to call the police?

Knighton took a lot of criticism on Twitter for that, and at first he fired back at his critics, saying that they were twisting his words, and adding that he would block them from following him on Twitter. But today, Knighton reconsidered and offered an apology.

In no way do I support abuse on any level. I apologize if I offended anyone last night by my tweets. Especially women.

Knighton was wrong to criticize Lozada, and right to apologize. The idea that a woman can only call the police on her husband if his abusive actions have reached the level where they’re life threatening is absurd, as is the idea that a woman who has just been battered by her husband needs to think about how his career might be affected before going to the police. A man who harms his wife deserves to suffer the consequences.
