Saints Likely To Have RB Darren Sproles Active At Raiders

Found November 15, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Darren Sproles,  Mark Ingram,  Chris Ivory,  Pierre Thomas
TEAMS: New Orleans Saints,  Kansas State Wildcats
Darren Sproles was full for Thursday's practice at Saints headquarters in Metairie. The eight-year pro from Kansas State returned to practice Wednesday in a somewhat limited capacity but now clearly looks ready to become part of a crowded Saints backfield when New Orleans takes on the Raiders in Oakland on Sunday. The trio of Mark Ingram (23 carries, 111 yards), Chris Ivory (17 carries, 120 yards, 2 TDs), and Pierre Thomas (11 carries, 54 yards) have fueled a potent rushing attack over stretch without Sproles for New Orleans. The Saints gained 288 rushing yards over the past two weeks in wins over Philadelphia and Atlanta. Sproles will wear a protective glove over his previously-damaged hand against the Raiders and likely well beyond. Source: SportsNOLA.com Attached Thumbnails
