ERIC EBRON NEWS

Completes strong training camp Ebron (illness) developed his run-blocking skills during training camp and is expected to be a more well-rounded tight end, Bob Labriola of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Ebron's biggest knocks are his run-blocking skills and the occasional dropped pass, but head coach Mike Tomlin made a deliberate effort to improve Ebron's blocking against some of Pittsburgh's best defenders. The 27-year-old may still lose some reps to Vance McDonald, but being a more well-rounded player should keep him on the field more and increase his fantasy potential after recording 31 receptions for 375 yards and three touchdowns last season.

Dealing with illness Ebron missed Thursday's practice due to an illness, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After breaking out with 13 touchdowns in 2018, Ebron was hampered by a preseason ankle injury all of last year, which didn't allow him to play beyond Week 12. Overall, he managed a 31-375-3 line on 52 targets in 11 games in his second season with the Colts. With the Steelers, Ebron will have to contend with Vance McDonald for TE reps, once he's available again.

The Steelers need the Roethlisberger to Ebron connection to be a slam dunk. Free agent acquisition Eric Ebron is the most athletically gifted tight end Ben Roethlisberger has ever had at his disposal.

Role likely decided in camp McDonald and Eric Ebron likely will compete for starting reps at tight end in training camp, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact McDonald played 69 percent of offensive snaps as Pittsburgh's top tight end in 2019 and restructured his deal to remain with the team in March, but the signing of free agent Eric Ebron clouds his outlook for 2020. Despite the playing time, McDonald caught only 38 of 55 targets for 273 yards and three touchdowns in 2019, though the quarterback situation following Ben Roethlisberger's injury certainly played a part in the poor production. Regardless, McDonald's opportunities figure to be more sporadic if he doesn't separate himself in camp.
