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.
