Darren Sproles, RB, San Diego ChargersNews | Statistics | Player vs. Team | Utilization | Depth Chart Chargers | 11 could be RFAs this offseason The Associated Press reports San Diego Chargers LB Tim Dobbins, WR Malcom Floyd, DT Antonio Garay, C Eric Ghiaciuc, LB Marques Harris, WR Vincent Jackson, DE Travis Johnson, OT Marcus McNeill, LB Shawne Merriman, RB Darren Sproles and QB Charlie Whitehurst could be restricted free agents this offseason if 2010 is an uncapped year. Chargers | Sproles could get raise this offseason Kevin Acee, of the San Diego Union-Tribune, reports San Diego Chargers RB Darren Sproles could make $7.3 million next season if the Chargers tender him an offer as a restricted free agent and the two sides could not reach a long-term agreement. He would be considered a restricted free agent if there is no collective bargaining agreement. Sproles made $6.6 million in 2009 and would be due a 10 percent raise on the one-year tender. Chargers | Five named to Pro Bowl roster The San Diego Chargers announced Tuesday, Dec. 29, that QB Philip Rivers, TE Antonio Gates, PK Nate Kaeding, OG Kris Dielman and WR Kassim Osgood have been named to the 2010 AFC Pro Bowl team. RB Darren Sproles was named a first alternate for the team. OT Marcus McNeill, WR Vincent Jackson, CB Antonio Cromartie and P Mike Scifres were named third alternates. Chargers | Sproles scores three TDs Week 16 The Associated Press reports San Diego Chargers RB Darren Sproles had five carries for 38 rushing yards with two touchdowns Week 16. He also caught two passes for 23 receiving yards with another touchdown in the game. Chargers | Turner feels LT is returning to form San Diego Chargers head coach Norv Turner said he thinks RB LaDainian Tomlinson is returning to form. "I thought he ran the ball well in the Denver game, he had explosive runs in the Kansas City game, and I thought he had his best game against the Raiders the other day," Turner said. "Obviously we are rolling him and Darren Sproles in there so he is not getting as many carries where he can get that long run that makes those numbers look better. But, he is making good runs and I think each week he has gotten better." Chargers | Sproles does more damage receiving Week 2 The Associated Press reports San Diego Chargers RB Darren Sproles was held to just 26 rushing yards off 10 carries Week 2, but he caught seven passes for 124 receiving yards with one touchdown against the Baltimore Ravens. Chargers | Sproles unlikely to play Friday The Associated Press reports San Diego Chargers RB Darren Sproles is unlikely to play in the team's final preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers Friday, Sept. 4. He has touched the ball 16 times in the preseason, including rushes, receptions and returns, which head coach Norv Turner thinks is enough for Sproles to be ready for the regular-season opener Sept. 14 against the Oakland Raiders. Chargers | Sproles starts at tailback Saturday San Diego Chargers RB Darren Sproles started the team's preseason game Saturday, Aug. 29, against the Atlanta Falcons, as RB LaDainian Tomlinson was given the game off. Sproles had three carries for 16 yards and a touchdown on the ground and three catches for 29 yards through the air. Chargers | Tomlinson pushing for him and Sproles in the same backfield Tim Sullivan, of The San Diego Union-Tribune, reports San Diego Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson has been pushing head coach Norv Turner to add some plays that have both Tomlinson and backup RB Darren Sproles in the backfield at the same time. Tomlinson said Turner always says they are working on it, but they have yet to see it happen. Turner said the problem with such a formation is that it requires one of the two backs to work as a lead blocker at times. While Turner noted Tomlinson is an outstanding blocker, he doesn't see a scenario where he would design offensive plays that feature Tomlinson in that role. Turner went on to basically say blocking isn't something Sproles does. Tomlinson believes the addition would create mismatches the team could exploit. Chargers | Starting point for Sproles is in the return game Kevin Acee, of The San Diego Union-Tribune, reports San Diego Chargers head coach Norv Turner said RB Darren Sproles is going to complement RB LaDainian Tomlinson this year. "Darren's starting point is in the return game and we'll pick our spots with him on offense," Turner said.
