Allen Park — For the first time since suffering a lower leg injury earlier this month, Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron talked to reporters, sharing his in-the-moment fears that his season was over.
“My life (stinks),” Ebron said his first thought was as trainers evaluated his leg on the Ford Field turf. “I didn’t know what to expect when I went down. I didn’t know how to handle it.”
Ebron criticized reports from national media outlets, which suggested he had suffered an Achilles injury that would end his season. He said those reports were published before he even had a diagnosis.
