Quick Summary

Zach Ertz, a former tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles from 2013 to 2021, is set to return to the team after spending the past two years with the Washington Commanders. Ertz will initially join the practice squad and is expected to move up to the active roster in time for an upcoming "Monday Night Football" game against the Bears due to a recent injury to Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert. This reunion comes as Ertz is 11 catches away from breaking Harold Carmichael's franchise all-time reception record of 589, and his return coincides with his eligibility for the Super Bowl ring he won in 2017 when he was a member of the Eagles.

Story summary

The Philadelphia Eagles signed veteran tight end Zach Ertz to their practice squad on Monday after starting tight end Dallas Goedert suffered a sprained MCL during Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, which he is expected to miss several weeks. With backups Eli Stowers and Grant Calcaterra also injured, Ertz will help shore up an otherwise depleted tight end room. Ertz spent nine seasons with the Eagles from 2013-2021, earning three Pro Bowl appearances and playing a key role in their Super Bowl win after the 2018 season. He is now just 11 catches away from breaking Harold Carmichael's franchise record of 589 receptions.
