Ebner rushed three times for eight yards in the Bears 33-14 win over the Patriots on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Earning his opportunities in the latter moments of a blowout victory, this was the first time Ebner has touched the ball on offense since Week 4, and he has 59 total yards on the season. Unless David Montgomery or Khalil Herbert miss time, Ebner may not see enough work to be a reliable fantasy option.

Ebner rushed six times for 20 yards, and he caught two passes for eight yards in the Bears' 20-12 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ebner was the clear backup to Khalil Herbert with David Montgomery (ankle) inactive. Aside from an 11-yard run, Ebner failed to generate chunks of yardage with his limited work. He should retain a similar role in the offense until Montgomery returns to action.

Ebner rushed seven times for 23 yards in the Bears' 23-20 win over the Texans on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ebner saw second-string running back duties when David Montgomery left the game with an ankle injury. Despite profiling as a strong receiving back, with Justin Fields throwing just 17 passes, Ebner had one target. If Montgomery misses time, Ebner will likely resume the the No. 2 role, giving him increased fantasy value.

Ebner (ankle) was not listed on the Bears' injury report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ebner missed Chicago's preseason finale Aug. 27 after picking up an ankle injury during the team's previous exhibition nine days earlier. Now, the rookie sixth-round pick should be ready to step into a reserve role behind David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert leading into the Bears' season-opener against San Francisco on Sunday.

Ebner (ankle) is one of three running backs on Chicago's initial 53-man roster, Larry Mayer of ChicagoBears.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's an excellent sign for the rookie sixth-round pick, both in terms of his standing with the team and his recent ankle injury. Ebner doesn't figure to have much of a role early in the season behind David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert, but the ankle won't necessarily be a limiting factor early on.

Ebner (ankle) missed Thursday's practice, making it unlikely he plays Saturday against the Browns, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ebner injured his ankle in the Bears' last game against the Seahawks and hasn't practiced since. He had been battling with Darrynton Evans for the No. 3 running back role behind David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert. If he sits out, he'll have two weeks to get ready for the regular-season opener.

Ebner suffered an ankle injury during Thursday's preseason game in Seattle, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear exactly how Ebner picked up the issue, but he was the second Bears running back on the field in the team's second exhibition behind Khalil Herbert with David Montgomery (undisclosed) sidelined. Prior to his departure in the second quarter, Ebner racked up nine carries for 29 yards.

Ebner's sure to get plenty of reps in Thursday's preseason game against the Seahawks, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

After scoring a touchdown and turning seven touches into 43 yards in the preseason opener, Ebner will continue to make a push to secure the No. 3 running back role behind David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert. Ebner also showed playmaking ability on special teams, where he posted 53 return yards, and he could work his way into a regular role in that capacity as well.

Ebner rushed six times for 31 yards and caught his only target for a 12-yard touchdown in the Bears' 19-14 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ebner ran a pass route out of the backfield, resulting in a scoring pass from backup quarterback Trevor Siemian. In addition, Ebner was the only Chicago running back to average more than 3.7 yards per carry, though he had his production against the Kansas City backups. Regardless, it was a solid professional debut, as he tries to win the No. 3 running back role behind David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert.

Although David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert are atop the Bears' running back depth chart, Ebner's versatility could help him earn a role, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ebner was drafted in the sixth round of this year's draft. His potential could eventually allow him to function as a rusher, receiver and punt returner. But unless Montgomery or Herbert miss time, it will be difficult for the rookie to see significant snaps on offense. For now, he's most likely competing for a role in the return game.
