Eagles elevate Zach Ertz and Josiah Deguara ahead of Rams game

Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles announced roster moves prior to their Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Tight ends Zach Ertz and Josiah Deguara have been temporarily elevated from the practice squad. Ertz played 19 snaps in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears and is expected to see a similar or potentially increased role due to Dallas Goedert’s absence. Deguara's elevation suggests the Eagles may utilize more tight end formations, especially with DeVonta Smith ruled out. The Eagles did not place Smith or other injured players on injured reserve, indicating a non-serious outlook on their conditions.
