Shipped to Arizona Ertz was traded from the Eagles to the Cardinals on Friday in exchange for cornerback Tay Gowan and a 2022 fifth-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Ertz caught four of six targets for 29 yards and a touchdown during the Eagles' loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday with Dallas Goedert (COVID-19) sidelined, but he's now been sent out west. Ertz was in search of a new contract with Philadelphia and has yet to discuss any deal with Arizona. The move comes after the starting tight end Maxx Williams went down with a potential season-ending injury, so it fills an immediate need for the Cardinals. Ertz caught 18 of 31 targets for 189 yards and two touchdowns in six games for Philadelphia this season, and he should make his debut for Arizona against Houston in Week 7 since he's already played this week and isn't eligible to suit up Sunday at Cleveland.

Finds end zone in start Ertz brought in four of six targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 28-22 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

Impact Ertz paced the Eagles in receptions and was on the receiving end of a five-yard scoring toss from Jalen Hurts in the first quarter. The veteran tight end's touchdown was his first of the season and only his second since 2019, as he served as the top tight end in the absence of Dallas Goedert (reserve/COVID-19). Ertz does have at least four catches in three of his past four contests, giving some deep-league fantasy value going into a Week 7 road battle against the Raiders irrespective of Goedert's status for that contest.

Top tight end in Goedert's absence Ertz will serve as the Eagles' clear top tight end in Thursday's game against the Buccaneers with Dallas Goedert (illness) still on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Dave Zangaro of NBC S...

Impact Goedert tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, leaving him little time to clear the necessary protocols and be available Thursday. Indeed, the Eagles didn't activate Goedert before Thursday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline to do so. Ertz thus figures to be far more active as a receiver than he previously has been this season. Through five contests, he's earned between 50 and 62 percent of the offensive snaps and two and eight targets on each occasion, while Goedert's respective ranges have been 55-74 percent and 2-5 targets. Philly regularly uses two tight-end sets, so Jack Stoll and the elevated Noah Togiai should get on the field, but most of Ertz' and Goedert's combined average of 8.8 targets per game likely will go to Ertz.

Should be clear top TE in Week 6 Ertz is expected to see an uptick in playing time Thursday against the Rams with fellow tight end Dallas Goedert (illness) unlikely to make it back from the reserve/COVID-19 list p...

Impact Goedert was placed on the list Tuesday, after he was revealed to have tested positive for the virus. Because Goedert is vaccinated, he'll be eligible for activation within 10 days, but since he'll still need to be asymptomatic and produce two negative COVID-19 tests at least 24 hours apart, he's doubtful to gain clearance before Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Goedert's expected absence will likely result in the Eagles running out more three-receiver sets, freeing up Ertz to absorb a large share of the tight-end snaps. While frequently sharing the field with Goedert, Ertz has hovered between 50 and 62 percent of the offensive snaps while averaging five targets through the Eagles' first five games. In addition to likely getting an uptick in snaps, Ertz should be in store for more involvement in the passing game as well, given how stout the Tampa Bay front has been against the run this season.

Only one grab in win Ertz caught one of his six targets for seven yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers.

Impact Ertz just couldn't connect with Jalen Hurts. The silver lining for the Stanford product is that he saw twice as many targets as Dallas Goedert on the day and has at least six in each of the last three games. The two once again played a fairly even number of snaps, with Ertz's 36 just five shy of Goedert.

OCTOBER 7, 2021 • Associated Press

Season-high 60 yards in loss Ertz caught six of eight targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact For the second-straight week, Ertz finished in at least a tie for second in every receiving category and has firmly re-established himself in the Philadelphia offense after a slow first two weeks. He played only 35 snaps to Dallas Goedert's 52, and while Goedert got the touchdown, it was his only red-zone target compared to three for the 30-year-old on the day. Sharing tight-end duties still caps each one's upside, but both have managed to be productive so far.
