Darren Sproles was amazing in the season opener for the San Diego Chargers
The Chargers wanted to keep Darren Sproles involved in the game despite LaDainian Tomlinson looking healthy. Sproles got his hands on the football 22 times in the season opener against the Raiders and he was good for 246 total yards. He carried the ball 9 times for only 23 yards (2.6 ypc) but he scored the game winning TD. He also caught 5 passes for 43 yards (8.6 avg) in that game on Monday Night. Sproles was electric on kickoff returns as he had 5 of them for 170 yards (34.0 avg). He also pitched in with 3 punt returns for 10 yards (3.3 avg). Sproles might not get to return kicks and punts if LaDainian Tomlinson starts missing playing time due to injury.
