Called up to play Monday night The Eagles elevated Ertz from the practice squad ahead of Monday's game against the Bears.

Impact Despite tearing his ACL last December and not participating in training camp with a team, Ertz apparently didn't need much time to get back up to speed after he signed with the Eagles' practice squad last Tuesday. The Eagles will use the first of three elevations on Ertz, who could step into a prominent role right away with top tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) sidelined for Monday's game due to an MCL sprain. Before sustaining the ACL tear, the 35-year-old Ertz remained productive with the Commanders last season, turning in a 50-504-4 receiving line on 72 targets over 13 games.

Signs deal with Eagles Ertz signed a contract with the Eagles on Tuesday.

Impact It was reported Monday that Ertz would be joining the Eagles, and the team made the move official a day later. It's unclear if -- as was noted Monday -- he will join the practice squad or jump right onto the active roster, but regardless, he figures to be busy soon with Dallas Goedert (knee) set to miss several weeks and both Eli Stowers (quad/hamstring) and Grant Calcaterra (back) on injured reserve.

Joins Eagles practice squad Ertz is signing with Philadelphia's practice squad, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Dallas Goedert is expected to miss multiple weeks due to an MCL sprain he suffered in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Titans. With both Grant Calcaterra (back) and rookie second-rounder Eli Stowers (hamstring) also on injured reserve, the Eagles have opted to bring back a familiar face in Ertz, a second-round selection of the franchise in the 2013 NFL Draft. Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins are the only healthy tight ends on the Eagles' 53-man roster, so Ertz could be elevated from the practice squad for Philadelphia's Week 3 road tilt against Chicago on Monday, Sept. 28.

Zach Ertz's return is perfect timing for Broncos' next free agent signing The Denver Broncos have a need for more production at the tight end position, and veteran Zach Ertz is ready to return at the perfect time.

Cleared for football activities Ertz (knee) has been cleared for all football activities and intends to play during the upcoming campaign, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Ertz tore his ACL early last December, but he's made enough progress in his rehab to be medically ready to practice. Per Schefter, the veteran tight end is looking to sign with a team in mid-August. Ertz reportedly worked out with former NFL quarterback (and college teammate) Andrew Luck on Tuesday, so the free agent appears to already be prepping for playing in 2026. He's currently 36 years old but should nonetheless have appeal to TE-needy teams, as Ertz showed plenty of productivity in racking up 1,158 yards on 116 receptions with 11 touchdowns over 30 regular-season games during his two years with Washington in 2024-25.

"Year 14 after an ACL at 34 is wild": NFL fans stunned as Zach Ertz plans to return for another season Torn ACLs have ended careers earlier than Zach Ertz's. He's 35, two months into rehab and headed for free agency.

FEBRUARY 24 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Plans to play, targeting Week 1 Ertz (knee) intends to play in the 2026 season and is expected to be cleared close to Week 1, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Ertz suffered a torn ACL in a Week 14 loss to the Vikings on Dec. 7, making it conceivable that he could be healthy for Week 1 of the 2026 season, which will be roughly nine months after his injury. It seems just as plausible, however, that the 35-year-old veteran's rehab could require him to start the 2026 campaign on the PUP list. An impending free agent, Ertz will need to find a new opportunity in the league in addition to managing his return to full health. Across 13 regular-season appearances with the Commanders in 2025, he secured 50 of 72 targets for 504 yards and four scores.
