Eagles running back and return man Darren Sproles has yet to attend any of the team's voluntary practices or workout sessions and his former coach says that he hasn't fielded any calls about acquiring him.

"I've had nobody call me from Philadelphia since December," San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly said Tuesday. "I can't speculate about a player on another team."

The Eagles acquired Sproles in a trade with the New Orleans Saints prior to Kelly's second season in Philadelphia in 2014.

Sproles scored nine rushing, one receiving and four punt return touchdowns in two seasons with the Eagles.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said following Tuesday's practice at the NovaCare Complex that he has no issues with Sproles skipping out on the voluntary portion of the offseason program and that he wants him as a member of his football team.

The Eagles mandatory minicamp does not begin until June 7.

Kelly was fired by the Eagles on Dec. 29, 2015 and had a snarky answer Tuesday about the differences between his new job as head coach of the San Francisco 49ers and his former job in Philadelphia.

"The ocean is on the other side," Kelly said. "The ocean was on the right in Philadelphia, now it's on the left. I don't feel I'm different. Ask the coaches who are with me now and were with me before."
