Eagles sign Zach Ertz to practice squad amid tight end injury
Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed Zach Ertz to their practice squad following an MCL sprain to starting tight end Dallas Goedert. Ertz, a franchise legend, previously played nine seasons with the Eagles and ranks second in franchise history in receptions. He had a productive last season with the Commanders before suffering an ACL tear. With Goedert out for several weeks, Ertz may quickly transition into a more significant role, possibly starting against the Chicago Bears on Monday night. Ertz's previous experience with quarterback Jalen Hurts could facilitate this process.
