Full practice Thursday Ertz (rib/rest) practiced in full Thursday.

Impact Ertz kicked off prep for the NFC Championship Game in the same manner as he did for the divisional round: DNP with listed rib/rest Wednesday. With an uncapped session now under his belt, the issue won't impede him from being available for Sunday's contest at Philadelphia, against whom he went for a combined 7-59-1 line on nine targets between two regular-season matchups.

Logs 'DNP' on Wednesday Ertz (ribs/rest) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Ertz was also listed as a 'DNP' last Tuesday with the same listed combination of ribs/rest before upgrading to a limited session Wednesday and a full practice Thursday, ultimately approaching this past Saturday's divisional-round game against the Lions without an injury designation. Chances are, the tight end will follow a similar pattern ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Eagles.

Key role despite modest numbers Ertz brought in all five targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' 45-31 divisional-round win over the Lions on Saturday night.

Impact The veteran tight end finished second in receptions for the Commanders but only fourth in receiving yards, thanks to his short-area role. However, Ertz's value went beyond the stat sheet Saturday, even though his five-yard touchdown grab late in the first half did extend Washington's lead to 10 points at the time. Additionally, Ertz was able to convert a key fourth down early in the fourth quarter that preceded a Brian Robinson one-yard touchdown run, and he also managed to handle a tricky bounce and recover an onside kick with 5:01 remaining and Washington up by 14 points. Ertz should once again play a key complementary role in an NFC Championship Game battle against either the Rams or his old Eagles squad on Sunday, Jan. 26.

Back in Saturday's game Ertz (head) returned to Saturday's divisional-round game in Detroit, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact In the first half of Saturday's back-and-forth affair, Ertz was checked for a concussion following a fourth-down connection with Jayden Daniels that eventually resulted in a Brian Robinson touchdown run. Ertz announced his return to the game with a TD of his own just before halftime and will look to build upon his 3-18-1 line on three targets.

Getting concussion check Ertz is under evaluation for a concussion during Saturday's divisional-round game at Detroit.

Impact With the Commanders facing fourth-and-3 at the Lions' nine-yard line early in the second quarter, QB Jayden Daniels connected with Ertz for a seven-yard gain, but in the process of getting tackled the tight end took hits from multiple defenders and appeared to be banged-up afterward. If Ertz is diagnosed with a concussion, he'll finish Saturday's contest with two catches (on two targets) for 13 yards.

Ready for Saturday Ertz (ribs) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's divisional-round game at Detroit.

Impact Ertz progressed from no activity Tuesday to some Wednesday before logging a full session Thursday as he tended to a rib injury. With his status confirmed ahead of Saturday's contest, he should be in store for the 5.3 targets per game that he's averaged in 18 outings between the regular season and playoffs.

Limited in Wednesday's practice Ertz was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a rib injury.

Impact On Washington's initial divisional-round injury report released Tuesday, Ertz was listed as a non-participant in practice due to both the rib issue and rest, but only the rib issue appears next to his name on Wednesday's report. Ertz is likely just getting some extra maintenance ahead of Saturday's game against the Lions, as Commanders head coach Dan Quinn hasn't suggested that the veteran tight end's status for the contest is in any jeopardy. In the Commanders' wild-card win over the Buccaneers this past Sunday, Ertz played 62 percent of the snaps on offense and finished with two catches for 23 yards on four targets.

Meager output in Sunday's win Ertz had two receptions on four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 23-20 wild-card round win over the Buccaneers.

Impact Ertz failed to continue the scoring binge he went on in the second half of the regular season, but he still played a vital role in the Commanders advancing to the next round of the playoffs. Both of the veteran tight end's receptions came on successful third- and fourth-down attempts as Washington dominated the time of possession game Sunday. Look for Ertz to remain involved as a key safety valve for Jayden Daniels as the sixth-seeded Commanders visit the No. 1 seed Lions in Saturday's divisional round matchup.

Six TDs in last seven games Ertz caught all five of his targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Ertz caught a four-yard touchdown pass from Marcus Mariota to put the Commanders ahead 10-9 in the third quarter. After scoring only once through Week 10, Ertz compiled six touchdowns in his last seven games to create substantial momentum ahead of the wild-card round of the playoffs, in which Washington will face either the Rams or Buccaneers. Ertz finishes his 12th NFL regular season with 66 catches for 654 yards and seven touchdowns on 91 targets.
