Murray shows he's worth $230.5 million to Cards in comeback
The Arizona Cardinals had quite a range of emotions on Sunday4 DAYS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS
High catch total in Week 2 Ertz caught eight passes for 75 yards on 11 targets in an overtime win against Las Vegas on Sunday.
Impact Ertz was a steadying presence for the struggling Arizona passing game, pacing the Cardinals in catches and receiving yardage while tying for the team lead in targets. Ertz may well be Kyler Murray's most reliable target while DeAndre Hopkins is suspended, especially if Marquise Brown (six catches for 68 yards on 11 targets) continues to flop in the WR1 role. The Cardinals face Tennessee in Week 3.

Puts in full practice Thursday Ertz (calf) practiced in full Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Ertz's DNP on Wednesday may have been a mere rest day after playing 60 percent of the Cardinals' offensive snaps in a Week 1 loss to the Chiefs. He intimated as much Thursday, telling Drake, "I feel great now. The calf, God willing, is behind me, so (I'm) really just focused on being the best I can be on Sunday and find a way to win." Assuming he's over his calf injury, Ertz will look to increase his involvement in the passing game Week 2 after a 2-14-1 performance on four targets in the opener.

No practice Wednesday Ertz (calf) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The Cardinals continue to exercise caution with Ertz, who has been tending to a calf issue since Aug. 4. He was able to suit up Week 1 against the Chiefs, playing 39 of 65 (60 percent) of Arizona's offensive snaps en route to two catches (on four targets) for 14 yards and one touchdown. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury told Weinfuss earlier Wednesday that he believes Ertz will be able to practice in full Thursday, which would mark his first uncapped session of the campaign. In any case, Ertz appears as if his status for Week 2 in Las Vegas isn't in question, something the team may confirm as soon as the release of Friday's injury report.

No preseason action yet Ertz (calf) didn't suit up for Sunday's preseason loss to the Ravens.
Impact Ertz has been tending to a calf injury since an Aug. 4 practice. Coach Kliff Kingsbury told Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports 98.7 on Aug. 12 that the tight end was progressing in his recovery, but Ertz has yet to play during exhibition season, partly due to his health, and partly due to the fact his wife gave birth to a child in the meantime. It's unknown if Ertz will be able to play Saturday in Tennessee, but if he's held out -- like the vast majority of the Cardinals' top skill-position players have this preseason -- he'll set his sights on being available for a Week 1 matchup with the Chiefs on Sunday, Sept. 11.

Cardinals TE Zach Ertz Out Since August 4 with Calf Injury Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz has been missing from team practice over the past week due to a calf injury.
AUGUST 12 • NESN.COM
Progressing with calf injury Coach Kliff Kingsbury recently said Ertz (calf) is making progress, Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Impact Ertz left practice last Thursday (Aug. 4) and hasn't returned since. He won't play in Friday's preseason game against Cincinnati, but there hasn't been any indication the Cardinals are worried about Week 1. Rookie tight end Trey McBride (back) is also banged up, while Maxx Williams (knee) came off the PUP list last week after suffering an ACL tear in Week 5 last season.

Exits practice early Ertz was forced out of Thursday's practice with a calf injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Until the Cardinals provide an update on the severity of Ertz's calf issue, we'll consider him day-to-day. When healthy, the 31-year-old is the team's clear-cut top pass-catching option in a tight end corps that also includes Trey McBride, Maxx Williams (knee) and Stephen Anderson.
