Commanders consider re-signing Zach Ertz after tight end injury

The Washington Commanders are exploring the possibility of bringing back tight end Zach Ertz ahead of their Week 2 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. This comes after Chig Okonkwo suffered a hamstring injury during Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles, leaving his availability for the upcoming game in doubt. Okonkwo had two receptions for 16 yards before being sidelined. In contrast, Ertz is a free agent with prior experience and chemistry with quarterback Jayden Daniels. Should Okonkwo be unable to play, Ertz could offer a significant boost to the tight end position and the passing game.
