PITTSBURGH (AP) – The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to terms with veteran tight end Eric Ebron, giving quarterback Ben Roethlisberger another proven red zone target. Ebron reached the Pro Bowl in 2018 while catching 13 touchdowns but was limited most of last season while battling an ankle injury. Pittsburgh hopes Ebron’s arrival can provide a welcome jolt to an offense that struggled in 2019 with Roethlisberger sidelined most of the year with a right elbow injury.  They also signed free agents guard Stefen Wisniewski and added to their defensive line depth by trading a fifth-round draft choice for Ravens defensive end Chris Wormley and a seventh-round pick, a rare deal between two bitter rivals.
