Lions' Eric Ebron (hamstring) returns to practice on Friday

Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron returned to practice on Friday, according to Fox2 Detroit's Dan Miller.

What It Means:

For the first time since pulling his hamstring on day one of camp, Ebron returned to practice in a limited capacity Friday morning. He was spotted running on the side with pads off, but it didn't look like he had any lingering effects from the injury. We probably won't see him play in Sunday's preseason game although he appears headed in the right direction.

Expected to see an expanded role in 2017, Ebron is expected to produce 65 catches, 748 yards and 4.19 touchdowns, according to our algorithms. If he does so, that would make him TE11 in standard fantasy leagues.
