ERIC EBRON NEWS

Practices in limited fashion Ebron (hamstring) was limited in practice Friday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.

Impact Ebron's limited participation is a step in the right direction after he missed both Thursday's practice and last week's win over the Browns. Pittsburgh doesn't play until Monday, so the Steelers won't give Ebron an official injury designation until Saturday. Even if he suits up against the Bears on Monday, Ebron would likely work in a backup role behind ascending rookie Pat Freiermuth.

Doesn't practice Thursday Ebron (hamstring) didn't participate in practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Ebron was unavailable for Sunday's game against the Browns due to a hamstring injury, and he was held out for the team's first practice ahead of Week 9. If he's unable to return for Monday's game against the Bears, Zach Gentry should see an uptick in playing time alongside Pat Freiermuth once again.

Impact Ebron was added to the injury report as a limited participant with the hamstring issue Thursday, and he was unable to practice Friday. Pat Freiermuth should have an increased role in the passing game while Zach Gentry works as Pittsburgh's No. 2 tight end in his absence.

Limited participant Thursday Ebron was a limited participant at Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ebron fully participated in Wednesday's practice but apparently sustained a hamstring injury Thursday. If he's unable to suit up Sunday against the Browns, Pat Freiermuth should handle an increased target share, while Zach Gentry would likely see additional playing time.

Finds end zone in win Ebron hauled in both of his targets for 10 yards while rushing once for one yard and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Seahawks.

Impact Ebron continued to have a relatively low target share in Sunday's Week 6 matchup, but he reached the end zone for the first time this season on a one-yard rush late in the first half. The 28-year-old hasn't been targeted more than twice in any of his first six appearances of the season, and he had less work than rookie Pat Freiermuth against Seattle.

Limited production against Broncos Ebron secured both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Broncos.

Impact Ebron has now had two receptions in each of the last two games, but he still hasn't topped 20 yards in any of his first five appearances of the 2021 campaign. The 28-year-old has hauled in five of his 11 targets for 37 yards to begin the year while splitting work with Pat Freiermuth and Zach Gentry.

Impact Ebron was held without a catch in each of the last two games, and he saw minimal production in Week 4 as the Steelers' passing game sputtered against Green Bay.

The 28-year-old averaged 38.8 receiving yards per game last year but has been limited to just one catch for 19 yards across the first three weeks of the 2021 campaign.

Draws two targets Sunday Ebron failed to haul in either of his two targets in Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Ebron dealt with a hamstring injury during practice ahead of Sunday's Week 2 matchup, but he wasn't on the injury report. Rookie Pat Freiermuth drew the start at tight end and hauled in all four of his targets, while Ebron has been targeted twice in each of the first two weeks of the 2021 campaign.

Cleared for Week 2 Ebron (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ebron popped up on the injury report after missing practice Thursday, but he logged a full practice Friday to shed the injury label. The veteran tight end is working in a timeshare with Pat Freiermuth, and the Steelers' offense has a lot of mouths to feed in the passing game, limiting both players' upside.

Added to injury report Ebron (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact Ebron's addition to the injury report Thursday after practicing without limitation Wednesday makes his status for Sunday's game against the Raiders worth monitoring. If the tight end is out or limited this weekend, added opportunities would be on tap for Pat Freiermuth in Week 2.
