Eric Ebron: Out up to three weeks

Ebron (knee) will be out up to three weeks, MLive.com reports.

Analysis:

Ebron's chances of playing this week probably are not good, but it does not appear he will require surgery for his setback, and he could return to action before the end of October. Brandon Pettigrew (hamstring), assuming he is healthy, and Tim Wright will handle the tight end duties for the Lions until Ebron is able to return.
