News

  • Moved to IR

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

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

  • Out for Week 12

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

    Analysis: 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, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: 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 tight end.

  • Likely headed for extended absence

    Ebron is expected to miss extended time and could require surgery to address the knee injury he sustained in the Steelers' Week 11 loss to the Chargers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Iffy for Week 12

    Ebron (knee) is still being evaluated and is considered questionable as the Steelers begin preparations for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: 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 he 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…read more

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Full participant Thursday

    Ebron (hamstring) fully participated in Thursday's practice session, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    Analysis: 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. The 28-year-old hasn't been targeted more than three times in any of his six appearance to begin the year, and he'll likely take on a secondary role behind rookie Pat Freiermuth, who has brought in 16 of 20 targets for 145 yards and three touchdowns…read more

  • Estimated as limited participant

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

    Analysis: 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

    Ebron (hamstring) is expected to return to action Sunday against the Lions, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Ebron was sidelined for a second straight game in Monday's 29-27 win over the Bears while he managed a hamstring injury. Though coach Mike Tomlin told Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site that the tight end 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…read more

  • Out ahead of prime-time game

    Ebron (hamstring) will not play Monday against the Bears, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Practices in limited fashion

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

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Unavailable Sunday

    Ebron (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: 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 Ebron's absence.

  • Limited participant Thursday

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

    Analysis: 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 a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Ebron continued to have a relatively low target share, but he reached the end zone for the first time this season on a jet sweep at the goal line 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 saw less work as a receiver 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Logs two receptions in Week 4

    Ebron hauled in both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: 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 2014 first-rounder has been targeted nine times across the first four weeks of the year and has just three receptions for 27 yards.

  • No catches against Bengals

    Ebron was unable to bring in any of his three targets in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Although Ebron played more snaps than fellow tight end Pat Freiermuth in Sunday's Week 3 matchup, he was held without a catch for a second straight week. 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Targeted twice in season opener

    Ebron hauled in one of his two targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Both Ebron and rookie Pat Freiermuth started at tight end in Sunday's season opener, and both players hauled in one reception in the comeback win. While the veteran will likely have to compete for targets in 2021, it appears as though both tight ends will have roles in Pittsburgh's offense to begin the year.

  • Leads Steelers in receiving yards

    Ebron brought in four of his six targets for 59 yards in Saturday's 26-20 preseason win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Ebron had a team-high 59 receiving yards while playing 41 percent of the offensive snaps Saturday, but he dropped a 20-yard target on third down during the team's first drive of the game. He played more snaps than rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth, but Freiermuth racked up two touchdowns in the win. Across his two preseason appearances, Ebron has totaled five receptions for 64 yards.

  • Hauls in lone target

    Ebron brought in his only target for five yards in Thursday's 24-16 preseason win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Ebron was held out of last week's Hall of Fame Game due to an elbow injury, but he returned to practice Monday and was on the field for 17 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps in Thursday's exhibition game. He was outpaced by rookie Pat Freiermuth, who was on the field for 39 percent of the team's offensive snaps, and the pair of tight ends should continue to compete for playing time during the preseason.

  • Participates in practice

    Ebron (elbow) participated in Monday's practice, Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

    Analysis: Ebron left practice in late July due to a minor elbow injury, and he didn't take the field in the Hall of Fame Game against the Cowboys. It's not yet clear how the tight end could be used in Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles, but his brief absence earlier in camp shouldn't impact his Week 1 availability.

  • Absent from preseason opener

    Ebron (elbow) didn't play in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Ebron left practice early last week due to what's considered a minor elbow injury, and he was unable to take the field in Thursday's preseason opener. His next chance to suit up will be Aug. 12 against the Eagles, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to do so.

  • Leaves practice field early

    Ebron departed Wednesday's practice early due to an apparent minor elbow injury, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Mike Tomlin said he's optimistic the tight end won't miss many workouts on account of the injury. Barring any additional developments, the most noteworthy outcome of Ebron missing a small amount of practices would be rookie Pat Freiermuth having an opportunity to handle more reps.

  • Faces increased competition

    Ebron faces increased competition for targets this season after the Steelers selected Pat Freiermuth with the 55th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Ed Bouchette of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ebron hauled in 31 passes for 375 yards during his final season with the Colts in 2019, his lowest marks since his rookie year in 2014. However, he established himself as the primary tight end in Pittsburgh last season and hauled in 56 of his 91 targets for 558 yards and five touchdowns. The Steelers selected Freiermuth in the second round of the draft after Vance McDonald retired in January. Ebron likely will handle most of the pass-catching duties while Freiermuth serves as the No. 2 tight…read more

  • Tests positive for COVID-19

    Ebron tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Ebron previously sat out the Steelers' Week 17 loss to the Browns following his placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list, which came after he was deemed a close contact of an infected person. He cleared all health-related protocols ahead of last weekend's loss to Cleveland in the wild-card round, turning in a productive outing with seven receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. Though the Steelers' season has now come to an end, Ebron's positive test resulted in the team shutting…read more

  • Off the COVID list

    Ebron has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

    Analysis: Ebron landed on the list back on Jan. 2 and sat out the Steelers' regular-season finale against the Browns. In 15 games this past season, the tight end recorded 56 catches (on 91 targets) for 558 yards and five TDs. Now that he's been activated, Ebron should be able to resume his normal role in the offense in Sunday night's playoff opener against Cleveland.

  • Shifts to COVID-19 list, out Sunday

    Ebron was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ebron is considered a high-risk close contact. As long as he continues to test negative, he'll be available for the first round of playoffs. However, the 27-year-old won't play in the season finale against the Browns, and his absence leaves Vance McDonald and Kevin Rader -- a practice squad elevation -- as the team's only tight ends in Week 17.

  • Scores fifth touchdown vs. Colts

    Ebron (back) caught five of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-24 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Ebron returned from a minor back injury and showed no ill effects as he finished third on the team in targets and fourth in receiving yardage. He scored his fifth touchdown of the season on a five-yard grab in the fourth quarter, giving his fantasy managers a useful final stat line. Ebron should be a full go for next Sunday's regular-season finale against the Browns and will look to add to his solid numbers in an inviting matchup.

  • Turns in full practice

    Ebron (back) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ebron needed to be carted to the locker room in Monday's loss to the Bengals after exiting the contest with a back injury, but he's seemingly made a rapid recovery. After sitting out Wednesday's session, Ebron took every rep Thursday, putting himself on track to suit up Sunday against the Colts. Look for Ebron to step back in as the Steelers' top tight end, a role that has translated to 51 receptions for 511 yards and four touchdowns over his 14 appearances on the season.

  • Starts week as DNP

    Ebron (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ebron reportedly avoided a serious injury during Monday's loss to the Bengals, but his availability for a Week 16 matchup with the Colts could be in jeopardy. He'll almost certainly need to resume practicing in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have any chance of suiting up Sunday. Vance McDonald could handle an every-down role at tight end if Ebron is forced to miss time, considering that No. 3 option Zach Gentry (knee) is on injured reserve.

  • Avoids major injury

    Ebron didn't suffer any structural or organ damage after he was removed from Monday's 27-17 loss to the Bengals following a hard hit to his back/side area, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Ebron played 10 offensive snaps and failed to corral his lone target, which came in the second quarter when he was sandwiched by two defenders as he waited for the ball to arrive. The tight end was in obvious pain as he left the field and headed to the locker room, but follow-up scans have seemingly revealed nothing too concerning. That said, Ebron could have a tough time returning to action on a short week, with the Steelers set to face the Colts on Sunday. Per Teresa Varley of the Steelers'…read more

    Ebron (back) has been ruled out for remainder of Monday's game against the Bengals, Burt Lauten of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ebron was carted to the locker room during the first half of the game after suffering an apparent back injury. Now that Ebron and Derek Watt (concussion) officially are out, look for Vance McDonald to shoulder the load, as he is the only active tight end or fullback left on the roster.

  • Suffers back injury

    Ebron is considered questionable to return after suffering a back injury in Monday's game against the Bengals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ebron had to be carted back to the locker room, so any chance of a return is seemingly optimistic at the moment. He was unable to record any receptions prior to exiting. While he's sidelined, look for Vance McDonald to replace Ebron at tight end.

  • Limited role against Buffalo

    Ebron secured two of his five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 26-15 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Ebron had been targeted 11 times in each of the past two games, but he was less involved against Buffalo. He wasn't targeted in the red zone for just the third time all season, and he was on the field for a season-low 38 offensive snaps. Ebron faces another favorable matchup against Cincinnati in Week 15, but it's unclear whether his role will pick back up because he's been one of several Steelers to struggle with drops recently.

  • Targeted 11 times versus Washington

    Ebron hauled in seven of his 11 targets for 68 yards in Monday's 23-17 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Ebron has now garnered 11 targets in each of the last two weeks, but he struggled with open-field drops once again in Monday's loss. The 2014 first-rounder has still received a significant target share however, even with Vance McDonald active once again. Ebron should have a favorable matchup against Buffalo in Week 14.

    Analysis: Ebron recorded his first double-digit target contest since Week 10 of the 2019 season. The results weren't particularly spectacular, as he was targeted largely in short areas of the field. While he accounted for Ben Roethlisberger's longest completion on a contested back-shoulder throw that went for 27 yards early in the second quarter, Ebron also recorded four receptions of five or fewer yards. The Steelers continue to remain particularly pass-heavy in their offensive approach, meaning Ebron…read more

  • Snares TD in convincing win

    Ebron caught four of seven targets for 36 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-3 win against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Ebron helped Pittsburgh shut the door in the fourth quarter, as his 20-yard TD reception with 6:40 to go extended the Steelers' lead to 24 points. The 27-year-old continues to be a TD-dependent fantasy asset, devoid of a single performance this season with more than 52 receiving yards. Four scores in 2020, including three the past four weeks, buoy Ebron's value heading into a matchup against divisional rival Baltimore on Thanksgiving Night.

  • Logs 38 yards in win

    Ebron hauled in two of his six targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 26-10 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Ebron failed to reach the end zone Sunday after scoring in each of the past two weeks, but his target share remained consistent against Cincinnati. The 27-year-old was only able to bring in two of his targets, but he made the most of his chances as he averaged 19.0 yards per catch. Ebron will have another favorable matchup against the Jaguars in Week 11.

  • Finds end zone again

    Ebron caught three of six targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The tight end scored the winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter in spectacular fashion, hurdling a would-be tackler just before the goal line on his way to his third TD of the year. Ebron continues to get steady volume, seeing at least four targets and catching multiple passes in every game since Week 2, and he's poised for a big performance in Week 10 against a Bengals defense that had given up the most receiving yards in the league to TEs coming into this week.

  • Productive against Ravens

    Ebron hauled in five of his six targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Ebron was on the field for 87 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps, and he remained heavily involved in the passing game for a second straight week. The 27-year-old has nearly matched his reception total from last season with the Colts, and he's now topped 40 yards in five of the first seven games of 2020. After seeing four targets in the red zone last week, Ebron wasn't targeted inside the 20-yard line against Baltimore, but he still managed to find the end zone early in the second half.…read more

  • Back to work Thursday

    Ebron (elbow) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Considering that Ebron advanced to full participation one day after not handling any reps in practice, his absence from Wednesday's session was most likely maintenance-related. With his health seemingly intact, Ebron is on track to serve as Pittsburgh's top tight end Week 8, but his fantasy upside may be somewhat muted due to a matchup with a tough Ravens pass defense.

  • Can't practice Wednesday

    Ebron didn't practice Wednesday due to an elbow injury, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ebron is coming off a solid Week 7 game against the Titans, during which he recorded 50 yards on a season-high six receptions. As long as he's able to upgrade to at least limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, Ebron should have a fair shot at suiting up Sunday in Baltimore. Wideouts JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and Diontae Johnson (toe) were also held out of Wednesday's session.

  • Season-best six catches

    Ebron recorded six receptions on eight targets for 50 yards in Week 7 against the Titans.

    Analysis: Despite the entirety of the Steelers' receiving corps being healthy to start the game, Ebron posted his highest reception and target total in a game this season. He fell just short of his second touchdown of the campaign when he was tackled at the two-yard line on the team's first offensive possession. Despite that disappointment, Ebron has commanded at least five targets in four of six games with Pittsburgh, giving him relatively strong volume for the position. He and the Steelers will take on…read more

  • Catches two passes in Week 6

    Ebron brought in two of his four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 38-7 win over Cleveland.

    Analysis: Ebron had logged 40-plus receiving yards in each of his previous three contests, with Sunday's effort marking a season-low yardage total for the tight end. Although the Steelers put up 38 points, the team wasn't forced to do much passing during the second half after jumping out to a sizable lead early on. Although he wasn't utilized much against Cleveland, Ebron has played a fairly steady role in the Steelers offense to begin the season, as he's now brought in 16 of his 22 targets for 165 yards…read more

    Ebron (hand) practiced fully Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ebron is thus good to go Sunday against the Browns. He's logged back-to-back five-catch efforts and should continue to see his share of targets in a solid matchup Sunday against a Cleveland squad that's allowed an average of 296.4 passing yards per game to date.

  • Misses practice with hand injury

    Ebron didn't practice Wednesday due to a hand injury.

    Analysis: Ebron wasn't known to have been banged up coming out of his five-catch performance in Sunday's win over the Eagles, so the 27-year-old may just be getting some extra maintenance to begin Week 6. The tight end will have two more practices to upgrade to full participation before this weekend's game against the Browns.

  • Hauls in five passes

    Ebron caught five of his six targets for 43 yards while also losing a fumble in Sunday's 38-29 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Ebron's fumble in the fourth quarter put a slight damper on an otherwise solid performance following the team's Week 4 bye. The 27-year-old has now been targeted at least five times in each of the Steelers' last three contests, while topping 40 yards on each of those occasions. Ebron, who was on the field for 58 of the team's 75 snaps on offense Sunday, should have another favorable matchup against the Browns this coming weekend.

  • Finds end zone

    Ebron caught four of six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-21 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Ebron finished second on the team in targets and provided one of the highlights of the day with a 10-yard touchdown catch over a defender in the second quarter. He received another look in the red zone and seemed to step up, especially after Diontae Johnson (concussion) left the game. Ebron reportedly connected well with Ben Roethlisberger during training camp and will now look to build on his best performance of the young season next Sunday against the Titans.

  • Decent showing in win

    Ebron caught three of five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Ebron has emerged as Pittsburgh's top pass-catching tight end, outproducing Vance McDonald the first two games this season. He has a decent matchup against Houston in Week 3 but Ebron's fantasy value in most formats appears to be touchdown-dependent.

  • Inauspicious debut

    Ebron caught one pass for 18 yards in the Steelers' 26-16 win over the Giants on Monday.

    Analysis: After weeks of debate over who would emerge as the No. 1 tight end for Pittsburgh, neither Ebron nor Vance McDonald were much of a factor all game. Just like McDonald, Ebron was only targeted twice, both coming before halftime. The Steelers have several pass-catching options, and as a result Ebron's fantasy value may be touchdown-dependent.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: Ebron stated early April that he was still in recovery mode after undergoing procedures on both ankles, but he's now managed to officially pass his physical and resume running and cutting without pain. The 27-year-old was limited by ankle woes during the 11 games he suited up for with the Colts last season, after having previously broken out with a 13-score campaign in 2018.

  • Still in recovery mode

    Ebron said he's not yet recovered from surgery on his ankle, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. "If the season started today, I don't think I'd be able to 100 percent perform," Ebron added Thursday.

    Analysis: Ebron initially injured his ankle Aug. 4 but played through the pain until Week 12, after which he was shut down for the rest of the campaign. After breaking out for 13 touchdowns in his first year with the Colts in 2018, the aforementioned injury, among other things, contributed to him managing just three TDs last season. Since undergoing an initial procedure in early December, Ebron more recently had his ankle examined and "cleaned out" by a doctor in Houston. While he hasn't been looked at…read more

    Ebron will sign a two-year, $12 million deal with the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Ebron is bouncing back from procedures in both of his ankles, but evidently the Steelers are comfortable with the way he's progressing and have added another pass-catching weapon for QB Ben Roethlisberger. When healthy, Ebron can be a useful red-zone option, as evidenced by the fact that he scored 17 touchdowns in 27 games over the last two seasons he spent with the Colts.

  • Unlikely to re-sign with Colts

    General manager Chris Ballard doesn't expect Ebron (ankle) to re-sign with the Colts for 2020, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports. "We'll probably move on," Ballard said Thursday.

    Analysis: Ebron scored 17 touchdowns in 27 games throughout a two-year, $13 million contract with Indianapolis, but he caught just 59.9 percent of his targets, in part due to 14 drops. His impressive athleticism ensures he'll draw interest from multiple teams as an unrestricted free agent, though the extent of that interest will partially depend on his recovery from Dec. 4 surgeries on both ankles. The tight end was one of the youngest players in the 2014 draft, so he'll be 27 years old in 2020 for his…read more

    Ebron confirmed via his personal Twitter account that he underwent successful surgery Wednesday on both of his ankles.

    Analysis: Ebron's season officially ended when the Colts placed him on injured reserve Nov. 25, and though he should be back to full strength by the time the 2020 campaign kicks off, it's not clear if he'll be wearing an Indianapolis uniform. The 26-year-old will become a free agent again this spring with his two-year, $13 million contract expiring.

    The Colts officially placed Ebron (ankles) on injured reserve Monday.

    Analysis: Reports surfaced earlier Monday that Ebron would require season-ending surgery on both ankles, so the move to IR is merely a formality. With Ebron out of the picture, Jack Doyle is the clear No. 1 tight end for the Colts moving forward, while Mo Alie-Cox should be in store for more work in two-tight-end sets. The Colts also added another body at the position in a corresponding move, signing free agent Ross Travis to provide additional depth.

  • Needs season-ending surgery

    Ebron will be placed on injured reserve as he's scheduled to have surgery on both ankles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Ebron was listed on the injury report for Week 9 and showed up again Week 12, but he hadn't missed any games this season. His absence for the rest of the year should free up more targets for Jack Doyle, while Ebron's snaps (29.6 per game) likely will be divided between some combination of Doyle, Mo Alie-Cox and the Colts' wide receivers. Ebron finishes 2019 with a 31-375-3 receiving line on 52 targets, averaging 4.7 targets and 38.5 yards over 11 games.

  • Paces pass catchers in Week 12 loss

    Ebron (ankle) secured four of five targets for 44 yards in the Colts' 20-17 loss to the Texans on Thursday.

    Analysis: Ebron paced the Colts' pass-catching corps in both receptions and receiving yardage, but on a night when Jacoby Brissett threw for just 129 yards, that didn't exactly equate to impressive numbers. The veteran tight end has no fewer than four catches in three straight contests, his most productive multi-game stretch of the campaign. Ebron will look to continue his surge versus the Titans in a Week 13 divisional matchup, a week from Sunday.

    Analysis: Ebron is out there if you need him this week, but it's unclear how close to 100 percent he'll be after being listed as a DNP both Monday and Tuesday. In a timeshare with Jack Doyle, Ebron has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option of late and hasn't found the end zone since Week 7, when he hit pay dirt against Houston in a home tilt, en route to logging a 4-70-1 stat line.

    Analysis: Ebron was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report after missing the week's first two sessions. The 26-year-old is seemingly trending in the right direction for Thursday Night Football, but he can't be considered a lock to suit up on the short week.

With Ebron now garnering a "DNP" designation on the Colts' first two practice reports of Week 12, there's some reason to fear an absence Thursday.

  • Has four receptions Sunday

    Ebron had four receptions for 27 yards on four targets in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: A week after getting 12 targets, but making just five receptions, Ebron saw his involvement in the passing game dialed back a bit. He played on just 43 percent of the offense's snaps (27 of 66), down from 61 percent the week before. It looks like he's back to his usual role where he gets four to five targets per game with a steady red-zone presence.

However, he also failed to get on the same page with Brian Hoyer for much of the day, averaging just over 4.5 yards per target while failing to convert half of his targets into receptions.

    Analysis: Ebron played just 24 snaps on offense (compared to Jack Doyle's 54 snaps) as he didn't see a big increase in playing time despite the absence of T.Y. Hilton (calf). Ebron remains a red-zone target, but he's a boom-or-bust fantasy option due to few consistent targets.

    Ebron (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Ebron -- who has logged 29 targets in seven games to date -- has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option this season while being stuck in a timeshare at tight end with Jack Doyle. The 26-year-old has at least bolstered his value with three touchdowns to date, and it's possible there will be room for both tight ends to feast in the coming weeks with top wideout T.Y. Hilton slated to miss time with a calf injury.
