Ebron (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's walkthrough.

EDGE Analysis

Ebron has missed the past two games due to a hamstring injury, but he may be able to retake the field for Week 10. The 28-year-old might need to progress to full practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for this weekend.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said he expects Ebron (hamstring) to return to action Sunday against the Lions, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE 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 Tomlin told Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site that Ebron 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 himself in a smaller role than he held prior to suffering the injury. Rookie Pat Freiermuth has emerged as one of Ben Roethlisberger's favorite targets in the absence of Ebron the past two weeks, producing nine receptions for 87 yards and three receptions between those contests.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

Ebron (hamstring) didn't participate in practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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.

EDGE 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.

Ebron secured both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Broncos.

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.
