Darren Sproles exits Saints' loss with head injury

Versatile running back Darren Sproles has been a major reason the New Orleans Saints have had a successful start to this season, but he wasn't a factor in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the New York Jets.

NFL Replay
will re-air the New York Jets' 26-20 win over the New Orleans Saints from Week 9 on Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. ET.

Sproles left the game in the first quarter after colliding with Jets safety Antonio Allen on a 2-yard reception. The Saints announced that Sproles was undergoing tests for a concussion and wouldn't return.

It's a big loss for Drew Brees and a Saints offense that already was without receiver Marques Colston.
