Ebron was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report due to an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
Ebron previously appeared on the injury report in Week 9 with an ankle issue, but there weren't any reports immediately coming out of Sunday's 33-13 win over the Jaguars that he suffered an aggravation during the contest. He played 43 percent of the offensive snaps in the victory, hauling in all four of his targets for 27 yards. The Colts should provide more information regarding Ebron's health heading into a Thursday night matchup with the Texans based on what he's able to do in practices Tuesday and Wednesday.

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

Ebron hauled in five of his 12 targets for 56 yards in the team's Week 10 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Ebron led the team in targets, yards and receptions, with the highlight of his performance coming on a 23-yard catch late in the fourth quarter that gave the Colts the chance to take the lead. 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. Given that Ebron had not topped five targets in a game prior to his Week 10 performance, it's unlikely that he will have a better chance to produce this season.

Ebron had two receptions for 16 yards on two targets in Sunday's 26-24 loss at Pittsburgh.
EDGE 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.
EDGE 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.

Ebron (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Ebron was added to the Colts' injury report Thursday, which clouds his Week 9 status unless he makes a quick return to practice Friday. If Ebron is limited or out Sunday against the Steelers, Jack Doyle would be in line for added opportunities at the tight end position.

Ebron caught three of four targets for 26 total yards during Sunday's 15-13 win over Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off Week 7's season-best game, Ebron was kept relatively quiet in Sunday's defensive matchup. Ebron has topped three catches or gone for over 50 yards just once this season, both in Week 7. When he's not scoring, and he's tied for second on the team with three touchdowns, he's not contributing enough in yards or catches to be a strong performance. Next up Sunday is an improving Steelers pass defense.

Ebron caught four of five targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Ebron did a great job of keeping his feet in bounds on his four-yard touchdown in the third quarter. The tight end has maintained his nose for the end zone even with Jacoby Brissett replacing Andrew Luck under center, as the touchdown was Ebron's third after he scored 13 in 2018. He also set season highs in catches and yards. Ebron will hope to build on this performance when the Broncos come to town in Week 8.

Ebron (illness) was a full participant in Friday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Ebron was held out of Thursday's practice after feeling under the weather, but he won't carry a designation into the weekend after returning to work Friday. Though his health seemingly isn't a concern, Ebron's fantasy utility has taken a major hit following his breakout 2018 with fellow tight ends Jack Doyle and Mo-Alie Cox continuing to hold meaningful roles in coach Frank Reich's weekly game plans. Ebron has played less than 40 percent of the snaps in back-to-back games and has topped out at five targets across his five appearances this season.

Ebron (illness) didn't practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
We'll revisit the tight end's status Friday, but he has a couple more days to recover in time for Sunday's game against the Texans, so for now we'll operate under the assumption that his Week 7 status is not in danger. With Jack Doyle also in the mix, Ebron's volume hasn't been steady, which has led to him recording a modest 9/136/2 stat line through five contests.
