ERIC EBRON NEWS

Cleared from knee injury Ebron (knee) announced Wednesday via his personal Twitter account that he received full medical clearance.

Impact Ebron missed the final seven games of 2021 with a knee injury after missing a pair of games midseason with a hamstring issue. He finished with a 12-84-1 receiving line across the eight games he did play, down from 56-558-5 his first year in Pittsburgh. Unless he re-signs with the Steelers first, Ebron will become an unrestricted free agent in mid-March, about a month before his 29th birthday.

Moved to IR Ebron (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Reports at the beginning of the week suggested Ebron would miss multiple games and might need surgery. He's now ineligible for Weeks 12-14 and could be out even beyond that. Rookie Pat Freiermuth gets more playing time with Ebron sidelined, while Zach Gentry bumps up to No. 2 on the depth chart.

Out for Week 12 Ebron (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Cincinnati, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ebron emerged from the Steelers' Week 11 road loss to the Chargers with a knee injury that may require surgery. In the end, it kept him off the practice field Wednesday through Friday and will sideline him for at least one contest. With Ebron out of commission, Pat Freiermuth will serve as Pittsburgh's top tight end for the time being, while Zach Gentry and Kevin Rader are available for any snaps that linger.

Not practicing, as expected Ebron (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Ebron is expected to miss multiple games after injuring his knee in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. Surgery reportedly is on the table, which might bring the veteran's season to an early end and lock in rookie Pat Freiermuth for a heavy-usage role at TE.

Impact Though Mike Tomlin characterized Ebron as questionable for the Steelers' upcoming game Sunday against the Bengals, the coach noted the team wouldn't have a better sense of the tight end's status until after he underwent further evaluation. Ebron was seemingly sent in for additional testing Tuesday, and the initial diagnosis he received apparently wasn't encouraging. According to Fowler, Ebron is set to get a second opinion on his knee, but a procedure of some sort is considered the most likely outcome at this juncture. The Steelers signed another tight end (Kevin Rader) to the 53-man roster Tuesday, signaling that Ebron isn't expected to be ready to go for at least Sunday's game.

Impact Ebron was sidelined for Weeks 8 and 9 with a hamstring injury, but the veteran tight end is now dealing with a new concern after hurting his knee over the weekend in the Steelers' 41-37 loss to the Chargers. Pittsburgh will presumably wait and see what Ebron is able to do in practices Wednesday through Friday before reassessing his odds of playing this weekend, but if Ebron is forced to miss his third game of the season, Zach Gentry would be the next man up for reps behind top tight end Pat Freiermuth.

Hurts knee against Chargers Ebron suffered a knee injury in Sunday's game against the Chargers and was unable to come back into the game, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.

Impact Ebron had three catches for 24 yards, including a five-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter prior to getting hurt. Despite finding the end zone, Ebron's a distant second behind Pat Freiermuth -- who also scored a touchdown while racking up seven targets -- in Pittsburgh's pecking order at tight end. Ebron's practice participation, or lack there of, during the week should help clarify his chances of suiting up in Week 12 against the Bengals.

Impact Ebron was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's walkthrough, but he didn't have any limitations Thursday. Although he missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury, it appears as though he'll be back in action Sunday against Detroit.

Estimated as limited participant Ebron (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Impact Ebron has missed the past two games due to a hamstring injury, but he may be ready to take the field for Week 10. The 28-year-old will likely need to progress to full practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions, however.

Expected back Week 10 Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said he expects Ebron (hamstring) to return to action Sunday against the Lions, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Ebron was sidelined for a second straight game in Monday's 29-27 win over the Bears while he managed a hamstring injury. Though Tomlin told Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site that Ebron looked good during limited showings in practices Friday and Saturday, Pittsburgh ultimately erred on the side of caution by holding him out Monday. Though Ebron should be on track to play this weekend if his hamstring responds well to additional practice activity, he could find himself in a smaller role than he held prior to suffering the injury. Rookie Pat Freiermuth has emerged as one of Ben Roethlisberger's favorite targets in the absence of Ebron the past two weeks, producing nine receptions for 87 yards and three receptions between those contests.

Out ahead of prime-time game Ebron (hamstring) will not play Monday against the Bears, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ebron seemingly was trending in the right direction but ultimately was unable to practice Saturday. As a result, the veteran will miss his second straight game while emerging rookie second-round pick Pat Freiermuth will be slated to once again have a significant role in the offense.
