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.
