Sproles owners - what are you doing with him (1 Viewer)

[Clifford]

I have him on short rosters and I have to drop him. Have Richardson and Morris on bye.

What's very likely is that the saints are mathematically eliminated well before he can return. Therefore, there will be no pressure on him to get back early. I think a week 14 return is best case scenario, with a strong likelihood of no playing at all again this season.

Eta dropped him for ballard

PFT:

Sproles may only miss one game

On Saturday, ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported that Saints running back Darren Sproles could miss 4-6 weeks with a broken hand.

On Sunday, Mort added that team sources say Sproles could miss only one game.

We’ve confirmed the latter. Indeed, as one team source explained it, Sproles laughed at the report that he could miss six weeks. The Saints, we’re told, will be shocked if Sproles doesn’t play in the next week or so.

The only thing we know for sure is that he’s not playing Monday night. Based on interim coach Joe Vitt’s comments from Saturday, don’t expect Vitt to say anything more than what the injury report requires as Week 10 approaches.

More, from FBG Jene Bramel on Twitter:

Very hard to put a timetable on Sproles without knowing nature of injury.

Jene Bramel @JeneBramel

Fracture will take 4-6 weeks to heal, but it's non-weight bearing injury. Becomes pain tolerance, how functional in cast issue.

Jene Bramel @JeneBramel

There's been no indication that Sproles fx is near thumb or involves troublesome bone like scaphoid. Unlikely he'd play through those.
