Lions' Eric Ebron leaves early with knee injury

Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron exited Monday night's Week 4 game against the Seattle Seahawks with a left knee injury.

What It Means:

Ebron was hurt while blocking when teammate Travis Swanson tumbled into the side of Ebron's leg. Luckily for Ebron, he was able to pull his leg out while Swanson was falling on it. Before exiting midway through the second quarter, Ebron caught 2-of-3 targets for 22 yards. Time Wright took over lead tight end duties in Ebron's absence.

Ebron came into Week 4 ranked 12th among tight end in Reception Net Expected Points (NEP), and he added 1.49 Reception NEP before exiting early. Detroit hosts the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5.
