According to the Eagles, Sproles went through four weeks of rehabilitation including a return to practice on October 30.

He was fully cleared after "extensive testing and participation in practice," the Eagles said.

The team said Sproles played in the November 3 game against the Chicago Bears without reporting any issues.

"When the team returned on November 11th, Darren was a full participant in Monday's practice, as well as a workout on Tuesday. Following Wednesday's practice, Darren reported the injury and was evaluated," the Eagles said.
