Philadelphia signs veteran tight end Zach Ertz to its practice squad after Dallas Goedert suffers a sprained MCL and is expected to miss at least a few weeks. Multiple outlets report the decision comes as the Eagles adjust their tight end group following the injury.
Goedert’s injury occurs during the team’s Week 2 game against the Tennessee Titans, with reporting placing it in the second quarter. The outlets describe Ertz as a familiar figure for Philadelphia, having previously played for and been associated with the franchise. CBS Sports and others frame the move as a homecoming. Fox Sports similarly reports the Eagles quickly pivot after the new injury news.
Several sources also note Ertz’s recent time away from Philadelphia, including a stint with the Washington Commanders. Fox News adds that Ertz is close to the Eagles’ franchise receptions record, while the New York Post includes details that Ertz’s 2025 season was affected by an ACL tear in December.
