Sproles return sparks Chargers

SAN DIEGO -- Remember Darren Sproles, the speedy little running back from Kansas State?

He's come scampering all the way back from a broken leg, providing some sizzle for the San Diego Chargers in an otherwise meaningless exhibition season during which LaDainian Tomlinson has been a spectator.

Sproles has had a spectacular August, all but winning a spot on the 53-man roster with one game left, Thursday night at home against the San Francisco 49ers.
