Detroit Lions tight end Joseph Fauria said he sprained his left ankle while trying to potty-train his dog, a Pomeranian-Husky mix named Lil' Rufio.

"He was about to pee and I was like, 'Come here you little nugget,'" Fauria said. "And I was chasing him downstairs. I wasn't running but I was chasing him downstairs and I just misstepped and I reached with my left foot and I just didn't end up well."

Fauria denied rumors he got hurt playing volleyball or at a bar.

"I heard footgolf, basketball, lewd activities as well," Fauria said. "I'm no stranger to rumors. I did get suspended from a school and I know those rumors were around, too. I'm no stranger to it, but I was there supporting my friends and it happened two hours after."

Lions Beat: Team has 'little choice' but to use TE Eric Ebron

Lions TE Joseph Fauria’s absence ensures a larger role for first-round pick Eric Ebron, who has been splitting reps with Fauria as the No. 2 tight end behind Brandon Pettigrew the past three weeks. Those snaps, theoretically, are now all Ebron’s.

On Thursday, Lions offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi said at some point he expected Ebron to eventually have a big role in the Detroit offense.

Now, the Lions have little choice but to use him.

Fantasy Impact: 

Ebron isn't a dependable start, but given the situation (bye week, good matchup, Fauria out), Ebron is a desperation start with some upside if he sees heavy playing time against the Jets.

Lions TE Joseph Fauria (ankle, out) missed practice again Friday and is out for Week 4. Fauria’s injury opens the door for Eric Ebron to see heavy snaps against the Jets. Fauria has played 79 snaps to Ebron’s 69. Ebron could see his playing time double in Week 4 if Fauria is out.

Lions TE Eric Ebron could benefit from attrition

Joseph Fauria hurt his ankle Wednesday night away from the Detroit Lions' facility. Calvin Johnson has yet to practice this week, dealing with his own ankle issue.

Although it is unclear whether they'll play on Sunday against the New York Jets, that two of the Lions' biggest physical targets are ailing could mean the team will be looking to their rookie tight end, Eric Ebron, to make plays for the first time.

"The numbers have just changed for him in terms of the depth at that particular position," Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. "You can anticipate that he's probably going to see a bit more, because he's going to take on Joe's role as well in terms of the particular personnel groupings that we'll use."

Fantasy Impact: 

With Fauria likely out, Ebron's snaps could double, which means he could produce surprising numbers. He's not a bad desperation play at tight end.
