NFL Insider Adam Caplan is reporting that Detroit Lions TE Eric Ebron (ankle/ knee) is "not expected" to play in Week 5. (Adam Caplan on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Ebron, who missed practice on Wednesday with knee and ankle injuries that were suffered last Sunday against the Chicago Bears, will likely be ruled out for Week 5's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. If Ebron is indeed sidelined for the matchup, Cole Wick should be considered the next in line to start versus the Eagles and should remain off of the fantasy radar.
