Eric Ebron (hamstring) still not practicing for Lions

Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron (hamstring) remains inactive at practice.

What It Means:

Ebron has practiced just once since July 31. The Lions are hoping for the talented tight end to take a big leap forward in his fourth NFL season, but he's going to need to stay healthy to make that happen. In 13 games last season, Ebron finished with 61 receptions for 711 yards and 1 touchdown. According to Fantasy Football Calculator, he's currently being drafted in the middle of the 12th round in standard leagues and going towards the top of the 11th in PPR formats.

numberFire's models project Ebron to catch 65.1 passes for 748.2 yards and 4.19 touchdowns in 2017, making him the 11th fantasy tight end overall in our ranking.
