Fri, 13 Jan 2012 06:07:57 -0800 The San Francisco 49ers defense understands stopping New Orleans Saints RB Darren Sproles will be key in their Divisional Round playoff matchup. "There's no doubt that he's a unique running back," LB Patrick Willis said. "For a guy his size, he does it all. He runs in between the tackles, outside, catches the ball really well. He's a complete running back. Certainly, we're going to have to know where he is at all times." Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio added, "I can't believe they got him for the cheap price that they got him for replacing Reggie Bush. I think if it was the NBA, the commissioner might have stepped in and stopped that move."

Fri, 26 Nov 2010 18:06:42 -0800 San Diego Chargers RB Ryan Mathews (ankle) did not practice Friday, Nov. 26, and he is not considered close to playing, according to Scott Bair of The North County Times. Mathews is officially listed as doubtful for Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts. Fantasy Tip: Mike Tolbert and Darren Sproles are expected to get the work at running back, and the matchup looks like a good one.
Tue, 26 Oct 2010 07:34:19 -0700 San Diego Chargers head coach Norv Turner believes RB Ryan Mathews is not yet ready for crunch time, which would explain why Mathews watched from the sideline the entire second half of the team's Week 7 game, according to Kevin Acee, of the San Diego Union-Tribune. RB Darren Sproles, meanwhile, caught six passes for 53 yards in the game's final six minutes. "Please," Turner said. "Darren has been playing that position for four years, and he knows exactly what he's doing in protection. He knows exactly what he's doing with the route. Obviously, when we get into those situations, it takes away the chances to use (Mathews) as a player."
Tue, 19 Oct 2010 06:53:43 -0700 San Diego Chargers RB Darren Sproles would like to have the football more, according to Kevin Acee, of the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 10:53:21 -0700 San Diego Chargers rookie RB Ryan Mathews will not see playing time on third downs, according to head coach Norv Turner. Turner said Mathews is outstanding in pass protection, but the team will keep RB Darren Sproles in the third-down role during the upcoming season. Turner said he has been excited about Mathews thus far, noting he has great speed, can get outside to the edge and is a very physical, downhill running back.
Mon, 23 Aug 2010 07:46:01 -0700 The San Diego Chargers may keep only RBs Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles on the final roster because none of the other running backs are grabbing the No. 3 running back job, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee. FB Mike Tolbert has looked strong as a runner during the preseason, so he could make the team along with FB Jacob Hester.
Fri, 13 Aug 2010 14:46:03 -0700 San Diego Chargers RB Darren Sproles (shoulder) will miss the team's preseason game Saturday, Aug. 14, because of a shoulder injury he sustained in practice Wednesday, Aug. 11, reports the San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee. The injury is not believed to be serious.
Thu, 12 Aug 2010 16:33:16 -0700 San Diego Chargers RB Darren Sproles (shoulder) sat out the team's evening practice Thursday, Aug. 12, and is considered day-to-day with a sore shoulder, reports CBSSports.com.
Sat, 24 Jul 2010 08:40:53 -0700 San Diego Chargers head coach Norv Turner said rookie RB Ryan Mathews is joining a "really talented football team" this year, reports Christopher Smith, of Chargers.com. "It's certainly a team that doesn't have to lean on him," Turner said. "That being said, I expect Ryan to have an extremely productive season. I expect him to be a big part of our running game and he's shown that he's going to be very capable as a receiver. We felt he was the most complete back in the draft and we're going to give him an opportunity to be a factor right away." RB Darren Sproles feels the two should work well together, because Sproles is more of a slasher while Mathews has more power to his game, according to Sproles. Sproles is likely to serve as the team's third-down back this season.
Thu, 27 May 2010 07:57:23 -0700 San Diego Chargers RB Darren Sproles (hamstring) is participating in the team's offseason workout Thursday, May 27, reports Kevin Acee, of the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Wed, 26 May 2010 11:57:38 -0700 San Diego Chargers RB Darren Sproles (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, May 26, because of a sore hamstring, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee. Sproles expects to participate in practice Thursday, May 27.
