Eric Ebron: Works out with Giants
Ebron had a tryout with the Giants on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Ebron was one of two free-agent tight ends brought in for a workout with New York on Monday, according to Howard Balzer of SI.com. The 2014 first-round pick of the Lions enjoyed a slight bounce-back campaign with the Steelers in 2020 -- 56 catches for 558 yards and five touchdowns over five games -- but he quickly was edged out by rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth last year. As a result, Ebron caught just 12 of 18 targets for 84 yards and one score before his 2021 season was cut short to just eight games due to a knee injury. The 29-year-old received full medical clearance in February, and he could provide a veteran presence with a new team heading into this coming season.

Eric Ebron: Unlikely to return to Pittsburgh
Ebron is highly unlikely to return to the Steelers for the 2022 season, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Ebron saw a slight bounce-back year during his first season with the Steelers in 2020, but he appeared in just eight games while battling injuries in 2021. Across those eight appearances, he hauled in just 12 of 18 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown, all career-worst marks. Pat Freiermuth established himself as the Steelers' clear No. 1 tight end last year, while Zach Gentry should operate as the secondary option in 2022 if Ebron ultimately doesn't return. After Ebron failed to carve out a consistent role in Pittsburgh's pass-heavy offense, he's unlikely to enter the 2022 campaign as a reliable fantasy option, regardless of his landing spot.
