Asante Samuel hurt

Asante Samuel, the Eagles top free agent addition in the off season, became the first injury of training camp.
Eagles coach Andy Reid said the cornerback strained his right hamstring this morning. An injury to his left hamstring had kept him out of the Eagles voluntary camp last month.
Samuel pulled up during a seven-on-seven drill as he was covering receiver Greg Lewis.
Samuel left the field with trainer Rick Burkholder.
Reid said he hopes to know more this afternoon after Samuel is examined by Burkholder and team doctors.
"We want him to practice, but if he can't practice, we want him to be healthy," Reid said.
