Fifteen carries, seven catches, 88 offensive snaps, one punt return for 10 yards.
That was all Darren Sproles was able to contribute to the Eagles’ Super Bowl-winning season before suffering a torn ACL in his left knee, a broken radius bone in his right forearm and wrist ligament damage, when Sproles was upended by New York Giants safety Darian Thompson early in the second quarter of the Eagles’ victory on Sept. 24.
Fans remember that afternoon for Jake Elliott’s 61-yard walk-off field goal, but Sproles remembers it as the day his career almost ended, far too abruptly.
