Eagles sign Zach Ertz to practice squad amid tight end injuries

Summary

Zach Ertz is returning to the Philadelphia Eagles after five years, signing with the team's practice squad. The tight end is expected to be elevated to the 53-man roster ahead of the Week 3 game against the Bears. Ertz's signing comes as the Eagles face tight end depth issues due to Dallas Goedert's sprained MCL, which will sideline him for several weeks. With other tight ends on injured reserve, the Eagles look to Ertz to help fill the gap immediately. He has a significant connection to the franchise, having spent nearly nine seasons with the Eagles before his trade in 2021.
