Report: Eagles are signing TE Zach Ertz to their practice squad
PhillyVoice • • sports
Key Points:
- The Philadelphia Eagles are signing veteran tight end Zach Ertz to their practice squad due to injuries depleting their tight end depth, including Dallas Goedert's MCL sprain and backups on injured reserve.
- Ertz, 35, is a franchise legend with 579 receptions, 6,267 yards, and 38 touchdowns over eight-plus seasons with the Eagles, ranking near the top in franchise history.
- After productive seasons with the Commanders, Ertz's 2025 campaign ended prematurely due to an ACL tear, and his current readiness to play remains uncertain.
- Ertz is known for his clutch performances, notably in the Eagles' first Super Bowl win, where he made key catches and scored a critical touchdown.
- The Eagles have a history of bringing back former players like Ertz, Nick Foles, Jeremiah Trotter, and DeSean Jackson, reflecting a pattern of re-signing familiar talent.
