InjuryDid not practice Wednesday

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron is not expected to play this upcoming Sunday against the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles after suffering injuries to his knee and ankle against the Chicago Bears this past Sunday, a source told ESPN Insider Adam Caplan.

Ebron briefly left Sunday’s game against the Bears, but he returned and was able to finish the game. He did not practice Wednesday, and he was not spotted at all during the open portion of practice.

Nerdy Football Analysis: Ebron came into the year nursing an apparent ankle injury suffered in early August. Whether he tweaked that same injury or is dealing with something new, it looks like the Lions may choose to let him rest rather than continue to play through his maladies. Detroit lacks a capable backup for fantasy owners to consider as Cole Wick is the only other tight end on the Lions roster with at least one target this season.
