As you can see, Sproles was initially hit in the arm. He then went to the ground holding his knee. It’s a freakish and devastating injury, one that could potentially lead to his retirement. According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, that was a possibility prior to his injury on Sunday.

Sproles, 34, is in his 13th NFL season. He’s put up over 8,000 total yards with 52 touchdowns en route to earning three trips to the Pro Bowl throughout a stellar career.
