The Facts: Following up on an ongoing story. ... Ebron may not be hurt as badly as initially feared. Although Ebron is not practicing today after he was carted off the field on Saturday, he is at the team facility, where several reporters saw him walking without crutches or a protective boot. That wouldn't be the case if he had torn his Achilles tendon, as was initially believed.
Diehards Line:
The Lions have not given an update on Ebron’s status. Ebron, the 10th overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft, is an important part of the Lions’ plans. He is slated to be the No. 1 tight end on a team that is thin at the position, with Brandon Pettigrew still on the physically unable to perform list after tearing his ACL late last season, and Tim Wright already out for the season after tearing his ACL in minicamp.
