Sproles (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Panthers, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sproles still hasn't been able to practice since Week 1, but coach Doug Pederson is optimistic it will happen next week. Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood will split snaps in the Philadelphia backfield during Sunday's game.

Sproles (hamstring) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Panthers, but head coach Doug Pederson is "optimistic" he will be able to practice next week, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sproles has not played since Week 1 nor practiced since Week 2 because of his injury, but it appears he is close to being healthy enough to return to action. Sproles' official status for Week 7 will be revealed at some point Friday, but as things stand, fantasy players should plan on him being unavailable.

Sproles (hamstring) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though coach Doug Pederson labeled Sproles as day-to-day earlier in the week, there's no indication that the running back is closing in on a return to game action after failing to practice Wednesday and Thursday. It's looking likely that Sproles will miss his sixth straight contest Sunday against the Panthers, allowing Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood to handle elevated snap counts as the Eagles' preferred options out of the backfield.

Sproles (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Doug Pederson referred to Sproles as day-to-day prior to Wednesday's session, but we still haven't seen any clear sign of progress. The 35-year-old hasn't played or practiced since Week 1 and now seems like a long shot to be available for Sunday's game against Carolina.

Coach Doug Pederson relayed Sproles (hamstring) remains day-to-day and wouldn't say if the running back would practice Wednesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sproles wasn't able to shake off the hamstring injury and return on a short week for last Thursday's win over the Giants, but he should have a better shot at suiting up Week 7 against the Panthers. Before he can build any optimism on that front, however, Sproles will likely need to practice in at least a limited capacity this week. The Eagles should provide an update on Sproles' activity level during practice later Wednesday, but a clearer picture regarding his outlook for Sunday's game likely won't be known until after Friday's session.

Sproles (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's road game versus the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
On Wednesday morning, coach Doug Pederson told Graham Foley of the Eagles' official site that Sproles is "close" to making a return to game action, but such sentiments were belied by his lack of practice reps this week. Sproles thus won't be involved in the first version of the Eagles backfield without Jay Ajayi, who suffered a torn ACL in Week 5. Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood will be the initial beneficiaries.

Coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that Sproles is "close" to returning, but it remains unlikely that the running back will be available Thursday against the Giants, Graham Foley of the Eagles' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sproles hasn't officially been ruled out for Week 6 and may not be until the Eagles release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before kickoff on game day, but his non-participation in practice Wednesday probably means he'll miss his fifth straight contest. The veteran's absence leaves Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood to share work against the Giants, but Sproles could re-enter the backfield mix as soon as Week 7 against the Panthers. With Jay Ajayi (knee) out for the season, all three backs project to benefit from increased snaps, though most of Sproles' duties are still likely to come largely on passing downs.

Sproles (hamstring) wasn't in attendance for the start of Tuesday's practice,
EDGE Analysis
The Eagles listed Sproles as a non-participant on their estimated injury report Monday and it looks like he'll remain out of the mix for the team's first official session of the week. The short turnaround between games makes it unlikely that Sproles will be available Thursday against the Giants, which would extend his streak of absences to five consecutive games. Sproles' availability for future contests will shrouded in doubt until he returns to full practice.

Sproles (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on the Eagles' estimated injury report Monday, Zach Berman of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
When Sproles' hamstring injury first came to light after Week 1, it was referred to as a "slight hamstring issue." However, coach Doug Pederson clearly was optimistic about the health of the veteran running back, who has logged four consecutive absences. Unless he returns to practice Tuesday or Wednesday, Sproles seems destined for a fifth. Whenever the injury is behind him, Sproles will be counted on to help out in the post-Jay Ajayi reality. After suffering a torn ACL on Sunday against the Vikings, Ajayi will turn over the backfield to Sproles -- when healthy -- Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood.

Sproles (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sproles still hasn't returned to practice and will now miss a fourth consecutive game. With Corey Clement (quad) also in danger of sitting out, Wendell Smallwood may be the top backfield option for passing downs.
