The Detroit Lions suffered a “devastating” injury in their annual mock game today when third-year tight end Eric Ebron had to be carted off the field with a lower right leg injury.
Ebron spent several minutes on the ground clutching the back of his right leg in the ankle/Achilles area before a cart came to take him to the locker room.
Lions coach Jim Caldwell, who talked to reporters before the game, declined comment about Ebron’s injury after practice.
NFL Network reported that the “early word” on Ebron was that he suffered an Achilles injury.
“It’s devastating,” backup tight end Matthew Mulligan said after practice.
