Lions' Eric Ebron: Progressing from ankle injury

Ebron (ankle) was seen jogging, catching passes from a machine, and "walking through blocking drills" during Sunday's practice, the Detroit Free Press reports.

Analysis:

Previously, Ebron hadn't run nor caught passes in the public eye since going down in the Lions' mock game Aug. 6. However, he's still expected to sit out the team's third preseason game in Baltimore on Saturday, and his Week 1 availability remains clouded. His next step towards being ready for the regular season will be to participate in individual drills at practice.
