Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) – Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles suffered an MCL sprain in his left knee during Sunday night’s 27-0 win over the New York Giants.<\/p>\n
Sproles injured the knee late in the third quarter when his left leg was bent backward while he was pinned to the ground.<\/p>\n
“He’s got an MCL sprain so we’ll see how long it’ll be. Could be a week or two,” Eagles coach Chip Kelly said during Monday’s press conference. “I wasn’t as concerned as some other people were.”<\/p>\n
Philadelphia has a bye in Week 7, then follows with a visit to Arizona.<\/p>\n
Sproles has rushed for 211 yards and three touchdowns this season to go along with a punt return for a touchdown. He leads the NFL in punt return yardage and has averaged 15.6 yards per return.<\/p>\n
The Eagles acquired Sproles during the offseason from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
