Playing time analysis: Eagles-Lions edition

Here is a breakdown of who played how many snaps on Sunday, and why:

QUARTERBACK

Carson Wentz: 61 offensive snaps (100%)

Wentz continues to take every snap, which is a sign that he’s avoiding injury. He kept the ball on two read options on Monday, which hasn’t been seen before this season. Doug Pederson said Wentz will have more designed runs later in the season, but the Eagles want to keep him healthy.

RUNNING BACK

Darren Sproles: 34 (56%)

Ryan Mathews: 25 (41%)

Wendell Smallwood: 1 (2%)

Kenjon Barner:1 (2%)

What stands out here is how little Smallwood and Barner played after they both impressed in the Pittsburgh game.
