Eagles Bringing Back Fan Favorite Tight End Zach Ertz, AP Sources Say
Zach Ertz returns after Dallas Goedert’s sprained MCL left Philadelphia thin at tight end, and Tom Pelissero said he could play Monday night.
- On Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles signed veteran tight end Zach Ertz to their practice squad, bringing back the former Pro Bowl selection after five years away from the organization that drafted him.
- Philadelphia's move follows a significant injury to starting tight end Dallas Goedert, who suffered an MCL sprain during Sunday's 24-20 comeback victory over the Tennessee Titans.
- With rookie Eli Stowers and Grant Calcaterra on injured reserve, the Eagles possess minimal healthy depth at the tight end position for the upcoming season.
- NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported the Eagles expect to promote Ertz to the active roster for Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears on September 28.
- A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Ertz spent eight-plus seasons with Philadelphia and helped win Super Bowl LII, leaving him 11 catches shy of Hall of Famer Harold Carmichael's all-time franchise record.
