McCoy To Sproles: 'Prayers To You And The Fam'
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Darren Sproles has tore his ACL and broke his wrist on the same play on Sunday, Eagles head coach Doug Pederson confirmed during Monday's press conference.
The 34-year-old running back is among the top 10 all-time players in all-purpose yards and, as expected, many reacted to the devastating news on Twitter.
Here are some tweets from former Eagles running back LeSean McCoy, Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett, some media members, and fans.

So Sproles tore his ACL and broke his arm on the same play and walked to the locker room like nothing was wrong.

A warrior without peer.
Most expect this to be it for Sproles. I wouldn't count him out just yet, though. But such a devastating blow.

Sad to hear of injuries to Darren Sproles; talk about overcoming barriers to entry. Eagles getting him for a 5th rd pick was true steal.

@DarrenSproles is a huge loss off the field also. Everyone connected with the Birds loves Mighty Mouse...an inspiring person.

On field, this is a big loss for #Eagles. Sproles was their best RB, big on 3rd down/hurry up O & very solid PR. Not sure he can be replaced

Darren Sproles literally gave up an arm and a leg to beat the giants. Hope to see that man in the Eagles HOF in a couple of years.

Darren Sproles has had an almost unbelievable career. This is probably the almost unbelievable ending. https://t.co/hhLSbn1mKS
