RB Wendell Smallwood, also of the Eagles, had a big performance against the Giants as well. He gained 71 yards on 12 carries along with one catch for 12 yards. With Darren Sproles getting a season-ending injury there will certainly be an increase in opportunities for Smallwood.
CB Daryl Worley of the Carolina Panthers has started all 3 games for the Panthers. He made 7 tackles including 1 for a loss.
WR Tavon Austin of the Los Angeles Rams only played 15 snaps. The left the game in the 4th quarter due to a concussion.
Giants backup QB Geno Smith was active, but did not play.
This blitz pickup by Wendell Smallwood is the type of play that leads to more snaps, injured Darren Sproles or not. #Eagles pic.twitter.com/xajO7RFkZI
