Eric Ebron Says He's Medically Cleared
3 years agoPittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent tight end Eric Ebron (knee) said on his Twitter account on Wednesday that he's been medically cleared by his doctor. Ebron landed on Injured Reserve after getting injured in Week 11 and underwent season-ending surgery. The 28-year-old ended up playing in only eight games in his first year in Pittsburgh, and even before his knee injury, rookie Pat Freiermuth was outperforming him at the tight end position. Ebron finished with a career-low 12 receptions on 18 targets for 84 yards and one touchdown in 2021. Freiermuth has a bright future in Pittsburgh, so it's likely that Ebron will be one and done with the Steelers. His 2022 fantasy value will depend on where he lands, but Ebron will probably be no better than a low-end TE1.
