New Steelers TE Says He’ll Be Ready For 2020 Season

PITTSBURGH (AP) – New Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron says his surgically repaired ankle should be ready in time to start the 2020 season. The Steelers signed Ebron to a two-year contract. They hope he can return to the form he showed in 2018 when he caught 13 touchdown passes. The 26-year-old Ebron says he’s hitting the prime of his career and believes he will flourish while catching passes from Ben Roethlisberger. Ebron joked that he hopes to become Roethlisberger’s “best friend” and that the two can help the Steelers bounce back from an injury-plagued 8-8 season.
