Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron left the first practice of training camp with what is being called a hamstring injury.

Ebron disappeared about halfway through Sunday's practice and did not return. After practice, head coach Jim Caldwell said he believes Ebron "tweaked" something.

Caldwell went on to say he believes it's a hamstring injury, followed by his now infamous mention of the soon-to-be-released injury report.

"Someone told me I should get a shirt that says 'Check The Report' or 'Read The Report' and just point to that," Caldwell joked to reporters. "It was my daughter actually. Save a little time, right?"

Ebron caught for 771 yards and a touchdown last season.
