Steelers activate Ebron from COVID-19 list

The Pittsburgh Steelers activated tight end Eric Ebron and outside linebacker Cassius Marsh from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, the team announced.

Both players were placed on the reserve list last week and missed Pittsburgh's final regular-season game. They will be eligible to return for Sunday's wild-card game against the Cleveland Browns.

Ebron, who signed with the Steelers as a free agent in March, amassed 56 catches for 558 yards and five touchdowns in 2020. His return to the field will have Ben Roethlisberger's passing attack at full strength.

Marsh was signed off the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad on Dec. 9. He'll rotate behind starters T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith.

Meanwhile, the Browns are facing COVID-19 issues of their own. Head coach Kevin Stefanski, offensive guard Joel Bitonio, and wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge won't participate in Sunday's game following positive tests.
