Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron was seen without a walking boot at the team's practice on Monday in Allen Park. Ebron did not participate.

This comes after Ebron was carted off the field during a team scrimmage on Saturday at Ford Field.

Early reports from Ian Rapoport of NFL.com said that he may have suffered an Achilles injury, but Rapoport also said Ebron told two teammates he was ok.

During practice on Monday, Ebron chose to not talk to the media, and head coach Jim Caldwell said he would not discuss in the injury.

Drafted by the Lions in first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, Ebron has played in 27 games for the Lions, catching 72 passes for 785 yards and six touchdowns, five of which came last season.
