Has yet to particpate in a full practice
The Detroit Lions tight end is trying to shake a hamstring injury that has held him out since the opening minutes of camp. Coach Jim Caldwell insisted he has not suffered a setback, despite expectations he was ready to return to the field more fully this week.
“No, he’s just got a couple issues that he’s dealing with, you know?” Caldwell said after practice Wednesday. “He’s got a couple things and not quite ready yet, so hopefully he’ll continue to heal and we’ll get him back out there soon.” (Mlive.com)
Nerdy Football Analysis: It’s concerning Eric Ebron hasn’t been able to practice this deep into camp. He hasn’t played more than 13 games in any season and will need to stay healthy if he’s going to finish 2017 as a TE1.
