Philadelphia Eagles running back and return man Darren Sproles will miss at least one game after he was diagnosed with a slight MCL tear in his left knee.
Sproles is expected to miss 2-3 weeks. With the Eagles on a bye in Week 7 the team will be without him for a match-up against Arizona before potentially getting him back for a Week 9 game against Houston.
What I'm hearing on Darren Sproles: Not out for the year, but probably out a few weeks. There was fear it was an ACL tear, but it's not.
