Howie Roseman addresses potential Philadelphia Eagles return for Zach Ertz
Summary

Philadelphia Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman spoke on Monday regarding free agent tight end Zach Ertz. While acknowledging the former player's history with the organization, Roseman expressed satisfaction with the current tight end group on the team's 53-man roster. Ertz remains a free agent with the regular season beginning in roughly one week. He was cleared for all football activities in early August following an ACL tear suffered last December. The Eagles current depth chart at the position includes Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt, E.J. Jenkins, and Eli Stowers, with Grant Calcaterra currently placed on injured reserve. Roseman noted that while he has maintained contact with the veteran throughout the rehabilitation process, no specific roster moves regarding a return to Philadelphia were discussed.
