I presume you want to observe your protein gel by silver staining. However, ethidium bromide does not stain proteins. It is a nucleic acid intercalating agent and thus used to stain nucleic acid gels (Agarose or Acrylamide). So, the direct answer to your query is that you cannot use EtBr as a staining agent in SDS-PAGE, but can stain native acrylamide gel used to run nucleic acid.
Incorporating dyes (including Ethidium bromide) in vertical gel formats is not recommended for the dyes bind to glass/ plastic plates and cause very high background. Yes, DNA resolved on polyacrylamide gels can be post-stained with Ethidium bromide and detected.
