Retiring at end of 2019
Sproles (hip) will retire after this season, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.
Analysis: This marks the end of the road for a great career from Sproles, who was a three-time Pro Bowler during his lengthy stint in the NFL. Sproles racked up 3,552 rushing yards, 4,840 receiving yards and 55 touchdowns from scrimmage and had nine special teams touchdowns as well.

Season officially over
The Eagles placed Sproles (hip) on injured reserve Friday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.
Analysis: The transaction officially puts a bow on Sproles' 2019 campaign, and perhaps his time in the NFL as well. After back-to-back injury shortened seasons, Sproles mulled retirement for most of the spring before ultimately re-signing with Philadelphia on a one-year deal in July. Unfortunately, a quadriceps injury kept Sproles out for three games during the first half of the Eagles' schedule before he returned to action Week 9, only for the running back to suffer a full tear of his right hip flexor…read more

Won't return this season
Sproles (quadriceps) will miss the rest of the season after being diagnosed Friday with a torn right hip flexor muscle.
Analysis: Sproles missed Thursday's practice with what was labeled as a quadriceps injury, but it appears he was actually dealing with the hip issue. The 36-year-old apparently suffered a partial tear of the hip flexor in early October but was cleared to return for Week 9 versus the Bears. He then sustained the full tear during Wednesday's practice, with the Eagles opting to shut him down for good. It's the third consecutive season Sproles has missed 10-plus games, and his increasing durability concerns…read more

Quad issue resurfaces
Sproles didn't participate in Thursday's practice due to a quadriceps injury.
Analysis: Sproles missed three consecutive games earlier in the season due to a quad issue, so it's somewhat disconcerting that the same injury has cropped up again coming out of a Week 10 bye. The veteran has only filled a bit role out of the Philadelphia backfield on the occasions he's suited up this season, but his availability for Sunday's game against the Patriots may carry greater import than normal with lead back Jordan Howard dealing with a shoulder injury that has limited him in back-to-back…read more

Three touches in return
Sproles rushed twice for seven yards and caught one of his two targets for three yards in Sunday's 22-14 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Sproles played 10 offensive snaps in his return from a three-game absence due to a quad injury. All of his touches and targets came in the first half while Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders far outpaced the 36-year-old in terms of playing time and carries. His main role right now comes on special teams returning punts.

No designation for Week 9
Sproles (quadriceps) practiced fully Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Sproles' ability to practice without restriction was enough for the Eagles to sign off on his return to action following a three-game absence due to the quad injury. With Sproles back in the fold, Boston Scott will presumably drop to fourth on the depth chart and may be limited to a special-teams role Sunday, if he's even active.

Could return Sunday
Coach Doug Pederson is optimistic Sproles (quadriceps) will return to action Sunday against the Bears, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: Sproles practiced this week for the first time since injuring his quad in Week 5, providing reason to believe he'll be back on the field Sunday. The veteran has yet to turn in a full practice, however, so he may need to do so Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation into the Week 9 contest.

Limited again Thursday
Sproles (quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Sproles has maintained his activity level for back-to-back days, but it's unclear if he'll be able to make enough progress by week's end to play for the first time since Week 5. Friday's injury report will reveal his chances to suit up Sunday versus the Bears.

Limited Wednesday
Sproles (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Sproles' limited activity in the first session of Week 9 represented a positive step forward after he failed to practice in any fashion ahead of the Eagles' past three games. The veteran running back looks like he'll have a shot at returning to action Sunday against the Bears, though his participation in practice the next couple of days will bear monitoring.

Likely to practice in Week 9
Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that he expects Sproles (quadriceps) to practice "a little bit" during Week 9, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Even if Sproles only practices on a limited basis this week, that activity would still represent a step forward after he hadn't practiced in any capacity since sustaining the quad injury in Week 5 against the Jets. The Eagles haven't formally ruled Sproles out for the Week 9 matchup with the Bears, but the team is more realistically eyeing him for a return to action following its Week 10 bye.

Ruled out with quad injury
Sproles (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Buffalo, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Sproles has been doing some stretching and rehab work, but he still hasn't returned to practice, even in a limited capacity. The Eagles will have Boston Scott on hand as their No. 3 running back if they decide to look deeper than Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders.

Limited to rehab work
Sproles (quadriceps) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Sproles was seen stretching at the beginning of the session, but he was limited to rehab work on the side field with the rest of the Eagles' injured players. While Sproles seems to be getting closer to returning to game action, he's not expected to gain clearance ahead of Sunday's tilt with the Bills.

Sproles (quadriceps) will be a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Sproles will pick up where he left off last Friday, doing rehab and conditioning work on a side field while his teammates practice. The Eagles haven't ruled him out for Sunday's game in Buffalo, but his continued absence from practice is a hint in that direction.

Won't return Week 7
Sproles (quadriceps) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Sproles was able to go through conditioning drills at Friday's practice -- his first practice activity since suffering a quad strain Oct. 6 -- but he was ultimately listed as a non-participant and isn't ready to return to game action. Nelson Agholor should work as the Eagles' top punt returner with DeSean Jackson (abdomen) also sidelined.

Working through conditioning drills
Sproles (quadriceps) is going through conditioning drills at the beginning of Friday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: This is Sproles' first practice activity since he sustained a quad strain Oct. 6 against the Jets. He still appears on track to sit out Sunday's divisional tilt against the Cowboys, but he's at least trending in the right direction toward an eventual return to game action. If Sproles is indeed forced to miss any more time, Nelson Agholor will fill in as the top punt returner for Philadelphia.

Fails to practice
Sproles (quadriceps) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: Sproles hasn't practiced since straining his quad Oct. 6 against the Jets, likely putting him on track for a second straight missed game Sunday in Dallas. While Sproles was idle for the Eagles' Week 6 loss to the Vikings, rookie Miles Sanders took on an expanded role as a receiver, finishing with three receptions for a career-high 86 yards and his first touchdown.

Still not practicing
Sproles (quadriceps) did not practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Sproles missed last week's loss to Minnesota due to a lingering quadriceps issue, and he hasn't yet made tangible progress in his recovery. With Corey Clement (shoulder) now on IR, Sproles figures to serve as the No. 3 running back in Philadelphia when back to full health.

Won't play this week
Sproles (quadriceps) won't play Week 6 against the Vikings, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.
Analysis: With Sproles out for at least one game and possibly more, Corey Clement bumps up the the No. 3 running back spot, which could involve some snaps on passing downs or in the two-minute drill. Clement also is a candidate to replace Sproles on punt returns, along with Nelson Agholor, per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Considered week-to-week
Sproles is week-to-week due to a quadriceps strain, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: While an exact timetable for Sproles' recovery remains undisclosed, it's safe to bet that the 14-year pro will miss some time as he tends to this injury. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) also sidelined, expect Nelson Agholor and Corey Clement to handle punt return duties for the time being. Sproles' absence also may signify a slight uptick in available touches for Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders.

Tending to quad injury
Sproles is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Jets due to a quadriceps injury, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.
Analysis: Sproles' usage has dwindled as the season has gone on, culminating in three carries for four yards and three punt returns for 28 yards Week 5. That is, if he's unable to return. It's unclear who will handle punt returns in Sproles' place, as the 14-year pro is the only Eagle to handle them this season.

Just one touch in win
Sproles rushed one time for four yards and saw no targets in Thursday's 34-27 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Sproles saw no targets in the passing game for the second straight week, and he played just seven snaps. Meanwhile, Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders played 33 and 22 snaps, respectively, and were very effective with their touches. The Kansas State product looks like he'll continue to mix in behind his younger counterparts as the Eagles head back home for a Week 5 matchup with the Jets.

Non-factor in loss
Sproles rushed twice for four yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Sproles got one carry in the first quarter, saw his only target in the third, and finished with his longest rushing attempt of the day for three yards in the fourth quarter. He saw one more target on the game's last drive but was called for offensive pass interference, and the play was negated. While he wasn't productive, the 36-year-old still led the Eagles' backfield in snaps by one over Miles Sanders with 27. Jordan Howard wasn't far behind with 25.

Modest usage Week 2
Sproles played 28 of the Eagles' 81 snaps on offense during Sunday's 24-20 defeat in Atlanta.
Analysis: Sproles ranked between Miles Sanders (35) but ahead of Jordan Howard (18) in such plays. However, Sproles fell far short of his teammates in yards from scrimmage, racking up just five (on two catches) while Sanders managed 37 and Howard accrued 26. Sproles' pass-catching prowess throughout his career is notable, but the 36-year-old is averaging a miserable 3.5 YPT on his six looks so far this season.

Paces team in rushing yards in win
Sproles rushed nine times for 47 yards and caught all three of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 32-27 win over Washington.
Analysis: Sproles' 63 total yards also led the Eagles backfield, although Miles Sanders got two more carries. While it is surprising that all three primary backs, including Jordan Howard, each saw three targets, the committee approach in Philadelphia is par for the course. While Sproles saw the second-highest snap count of the trio with 23, the distribution of snaps and touches will likely continue to vary from game to game, starting with a Week 2 matchup at Atlanta.

Passing-game role confirmed
Sproles will be the primary punt returner and share passing-game duties for the Eagles, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: This confirms what we thought already regarding Sproles' role. He will fill in on passing downs with Corey Clement and work behind Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders for the rest. This means the 36-year-old probably won't produce enough to be rostered outside of deep PPR leagues barring injury.

Does not play Thursday
Sproles did not play in Thursday's preseason loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Sproles has not seen a snap in the preseason, and it will almost certainly stay that way as the team looks to keep the 36-year-old healthy for the games that matter. He'll fill his typical change-of-pace role alongside Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders. Corey Clement and either Wendell Smallwood or Josh Adams will likely fill out Philadelphia's running back depth chart.

Street clothes Thursday
Sproles will not suit up for Thursday's preseason game against the Titans, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Heading back to Philly
The Eagles and Sproles agreed to a one-year contract Friday, Dave Spadaro of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: With less than a week remaining before the start of training camp, Philly welcomes back the 14-year veteran. Sproles has been limited to just nine appearances the past two seasons, the result of multiple lower-body injuries. Even if his body can't hold up to the rigors of regular work out of the backfield at age 36, his prowess as a punt returner should help him earn a role on the Eagles' 53-man roster. Such a gig may be his destiny anyway after the team brought in Jordan Howard and Miles…read more

Analysis: The pair was working with San Diego-based strength and conditioning coach Todd Durkin alongside other NFL players, including the Bears' Chase Daniel and Eagles' Donnel Pumphrey. While Sproles is clearly taking time with his decision on his future in football, his willingness to participate in workouts at least reflects some level of desire to keep his playing career going.

Not rushed on retirement call
Sproles said he will wait until May to make a decision on retirement, The Press of Atlantic City's David Weinberg reports.
Analysis: Coach Doug Pederson recently said he'd like to keep Sproles in Philadelphia for another season. While he hasn't explicitly said so, the 35-year-old running back seems to be deciding between the Eagles and retirement, rather than weighing offers from other teams. The trade for Jordan Howard provides some bulk in the Philadelphia backfield, but the team still lacks a reliable option for passing downs.

Still wanted in Philadelphia
Eagles coach Doug Pederson said he hasn't talked to Sproles since the end of the season but would love to have the 35-year-old on the team in 2019, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: An unrestricted free agent, Sproles still hasn't announced his decision on retirement, and it isn't entirely clear he'd stay in Philadelphia if he were to continue his football career. The Eagles could certainly use a veteran presence in the backfield, as their current depth chart holds Corey Clement (knee), Wendell Smallwood, Josh Adams, Boston Scott and Donnel Pumphrey. The team is also maintaining dialogue with Jay Ajayi (knee) and likely will add a running back in the upcoming draft.

Pondering future
Sproles said after Sunday's 20-14 loss to the Saints in the divisional round that he hasn't decided if he wants to play a 15th NFL season in 2019, Zach Berman of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. "I really don't know yet," Sproles said, when asked about his future in football. "I was going to take time away and then I was going to make my decision."
Analysis: If this is the end for the 35-year-old Sproles, he concluded his career on a rather underwhelming note after starting and playing 27 of the Eagles' 51 offensive snaps against New Orleans and finishing with only four yards on three carries to go with three receptions for 21 yards. After an injury-shortened 2017 season, Sproles was motivated to return in 2018 so he could end his career on his own terms, but health still proved to be an issue. He suffered a hamstring injury in the season opener…read more

Leading rusher in playoff win
Sproles rushed 13 times for 21 yards and caught two of three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 16-15 wild-card-round win over Chicago.
Analysis: It's a testament to Sproles' ability that he led his team in carries and rushing yards in a playoff game at the advanced age of 35. The diminutive running back is already sixth on the NFL's all-time all-purpose-yardage list and could climb even higher if he chooses to suit up for another season. Sproles has already stated that a decision won't come on that front until training camp next season, but his focus lies elsewhere at the moment with the Eagles set to travel to New Orleans to face…read more

Sproles had seven carries for 24 yards and caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 24-0 win over Washington.
Analysis: Sproles led the Philadelphia backfield with a 38 percent snap share, finishing slightly ahead of Wendell Smallwood (37 percent) and Josh Adams (25 percent), a duo that combined for 30 touches. The Eagles seem to have settled on a committee heading into the playoffs, with a road matchup against the Bears potentially favoring Sproles' role on passing downs.

Totals 108 yards in win
Sproles rushed nine times for 32 yards and caught three of six targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-30 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Sproles' man whiffed while attempting to tackle him in the flat, and the 35-year-old took it 37-yards to the house for a first-quarter touchdown. He also drew the start and led the team in rushing while seeing a season-high nine rushing attempts, more than he had in his last three games combined. Josh Adams, meanwhile, saw just 11 carries. Accordingly, none of the Eagles' backfield options make for reliable fantasy choices Week 17 at Washington.

He hasn't carried the ball more than five times in those contests but picked up 17 and nine yards on his first two carries in this one, showing his customary burst and power.

Scores in second straight
Sproles rushed once for two yards and caught all three of his targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-23 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Sproles caught a ball in the right flat and barreled through two defenders to get in the end zone and tie the game with 1:22 remaining in regulation. In just his second game back after missing 11 weeks with a hamstring injury, the 35-year-old saw 22 offensive snaps, more than twice what he got the week prior. With Corey Clement almost certain to miss time with what is likely a sprained knee, Sproles' role may expand even further Week 15 on the road against the Rams.

Finds end zone in return
Sproles rushed four times for 22 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 28-13 victory over Washington.
Analysis: Sproles scored his first touchdown in almost two full years despite seeing just nine offensive snaps in his first game action since injuring his hamstring Week 1. He also handled punt-return duties for Philadelphia, returning three kicks for 19 yards. Oddly, the 35-year-old was left out of the passing game, but Eagles probably wanted to ease the veteran back into action. Look for him to see his role gradually increase over the remainder of the season, starting with a Week 14 matchup in Dallas.

Sproles (hamstring) is active for Monday's game versus the Redskins, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: In his first appearance since Week 1, Sproles may not be featured like he was in that contest due to the emergence of Josh Adams (hip). Considering he's averaged 3.3 catches, 4.7 targets and 6.0 carries per game during the Doug Pederson era, Sproles should get in the act behind Adams and alongside Corey Clement.

Questionable for Monday
Sproles (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Redskins.
Analysis: Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reported earlier Saturday the veteran running back plans to play Monday, however Sproles is expected to be worked back into the offensive rotation slowly. An injury to Josh Adams may rush that timeline somewhat, but with the likes of Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood still available and healthy, Sproles is unlikely to see a significant amount of snaps regardless of Adams' game-time status.

Analysis: Sproles returned to practice Nov. 8 and immediately suffered a setback, but the Eagles remain hopeful he can play at some point this season. His inability to practice in any capacity this week suggests he's unlikely to return for Week 13 against Washington.

Starts week absent from practice

Ruled out after setback
Sproles (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in New Orleans, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: Sproles will miss out on a chance to face one of his former teams after suffering a setback during Wednesday's practice. He'll likely miss time beyond Week 11, leaving Josh Adams, Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement to form a backfield committee without a proven pass-catching threat.

Sidelined for another practice
Sproles (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Coach Doug Pederson said that Sproles would focus his efforts on rehabbing his lingering hamstring injury rather than practicing, so the veteran's non-participation in the first two sessions of the week doesn't come as a surprise. With Sproles trending toward missing his ninth consecutive game Sunday against the Saints, the Eagles will lean on a backfield trio of Wendell Smallwood, Josh Adams and Corey Clement.

Still rehabbing hamstring injury
Coach Doug Pederson said that Sproles' main focus for this week will be continuing to train and rehab his hamstring injury, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: The Eagles aren't officially listing Sproles as out for Sunday's game against the Saints, but the fact that Pederson didn't offer any indication the running back is close to returning to practice suggests the 35-year-old's absence will be extended by at least another week. Sproles may need to demonstrate meaningful progress in his rehab over the next several days in order to avoid a move to injured reserve, which would spell an end to his season.

Set to miss multiple weeks
Sproles is expected to remain out for multiple weeks after aggravating his hamstring injury during Wednesday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Sproles has been sidelined since Week 1 with the injury, but was expected to return to action Sunday against the Cowboys after opening the week as a practice participant. Unfortunately for the veteran scatback, he wasn't even able to make it through one full session before the hamstring acted up again. In light of his latest setback, the Eagles intend to take a cautious approach with Sproles, with one source telling Rapoport that the 35-year-old may need 3-to-4 weeks of recovery time. The team…read more

Still expected to play this year
Sproles (hamstring) won't return for Sunday's game against Dallas, but coach Doug Pederson still expects the 35-year-old to play before the end of the season, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Sproles returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since Week 1, only to aggravate his hamstring injury and then sit out Thursday and Friday. Despite the optimism from Pederson, it's fair to wonder if Sproles really will make it back this season. The Eagles will continue to deploy a backfield committee consisting of Wendell Smallwood, Josh Adams and Corey Clement (illness).

Not spotted at Friday's practice
Sproles (hamstring) was not spotted at Friday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Sproles aggravated his hamstring injury at Wednesday's practice, and unless he gets some work in behind the scenes Friday, he will have missed two days of practice since. The Eagles were hoping to get Sproles back this week, but that appears unlikely at this point.

Misses practice Thursday
Sproles (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: It would be surprising if Sproles practiced in any fashion before the end of the week after he reportedly aggravated his existing hamstring injury in his return to work Wednesday. Prior to his limited session that day, Sproles hadn' t practiced in any capacity since Week 1. The Eagles will presumably hold Sproles out through at least Sunday's game against the Cowboys while they continue to gain more information regarding his latest setback, but there's a real possibility the team may shut him…read more

Suffers setback, Week 10 status in doubt
Sproles aggravated his hamstring injury during Wednesday's practice and is now expected to remain sidelined for Sunday's game against Dallas, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Earlier this week, Eagles coach Doug Pederson said that he expected Sproles to be back on the field for the Week 10 matchup, but that timeline will now apparently be pushed back. Despite Sproles' slow progress in his recovery from the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 1, the Eagles have remained confident that he would be able to contribute again this season. That no longer looks like a certainty, though the Eagles will presumably evaluate Sproles over the next few days before determining if…read more

Returns to limited practice
Sproles (hamstring) was a limited participant Wednesday in his first practice appearance since Week 1, Zach Berman of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: The 35-year-old running back made good on coach Doug Pederson's stated expectation of a return to practice after a two-month absence. It's still far from a lock Sproles will be ready to face the Cowboys on Sunday, but he's at least on track to play at some point within the next few weeks. When asked Tuesday about what Sproles' role would likely once healthy, running backs coach Duce Staley wouldn't shed much light on the matter, merely telling Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com, "we'll see." In light of…read more

Trending toward practicing, playing Week 10
Coach Doug Pederson said he expects Sproles (hamstring) to practice this week and play Sunday against the Cowboys, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: While Pederson's optimism is encouraging for Sproles' prospects, it's worth noting that the coach expressed similar enthusiasm about the running back's readiness for practice in prior weeks, only for the veteran to log no recorded activity. As Rosenblatt's report notes, Sproles is still viewed as "limited" and "day-to-day" coming out of the Eagles' bye, so it's far from a given that the 35-year-old will open up Week 10 by participating in the team's initial session Wednesday. Even if the…read more
