Zach Ertz: Remains on practice squad
Ertz is not being elevated from the practice squad for Monday night's game against the Cowboys, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
With Philly's tight ends all healthy now, Ertz will remain glued to the practice squad for the second straight week. The veteran has appeared in three games this season, catching just three of eight targets for 22 empty yards. He doesn't appear to have much left in the tank at 35 years old.

Eagles' Zach Ertz: Doesn't get elevated Week 6
Ertz is not being elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's matchup against Carolina, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
After being signed to the Eagles' practice squad Sept. 22, Ertz was elevated three straight weeks and produced a 3-22-0 receiving line on eight targets. However, he's reached the maximum with the three elevations and would need to be signed to Philadelphia's active roster in order to suit up again on game day. Ertz may no longer be needed due to Dallas Goedert returning to action in Week 5. Plus, Grant Calcaterra (back) and Eli Stowers (quadriceps), both of whom are still on IR, are on the verge of being activated.

Eagles' Zach Ertz: Moves back to practice squad
Ertz reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Ertz has been elevated and then returned to the practice squad each of the three weeks since signing with Philadelphia on Sept. 22. In Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, he logged a season-low six offensive snaps and didn't catch either of his two targets. Ertz is out of practice squad elevations, so Philadelphia will need to sign him to the active roster in order for the veteran tight end to continue to play for the team on game days.

Eagles' Zach Ertz: Back up from practice squad
The Eagles elevated Ertz from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.
Philadelphia's offense will be welcoming back No. 1 tight end Dallas Goedert from a two-game absence due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, but with the team down top RB Saquon Barkley and WR DeVonta Smith as they deal with respective hamstring injuries, head coach Nick Sirianni may be forced into using more two-TE sets. Through two contests in his return to the Eagles, Ertz has hauled in three of six targets for 22 yards while playing behind Johnny Mundt, so he figures to be no more than the No. 3 at the position in Week 5.

Eagles' Zach Ertz: Reverts to practice squad
Ertz reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With Dallas Goedert (knee) stil sidelined, Johnny Mundt made the start at tight end for Philly and played 49 of 61 offensive snaps. Ertz saw 13 snaps on offense, running 11 routes on Jalen Hurts' 32 dropbacks. He caught two of four targets for 12 yards and has three catches for 21 yards on six targets across two appearances since signing with the practice squad.

Eagles' Zach Ertz: Back up on active roster
The Eagles elevated Ertz from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.
In his return to Philadelphia in a Week 4 loss to the Bears, Ertz ranked second among Eagles tight ends in offensive snaps (19 of 50) behind Johnny Mundt (26) and ahead of E.J. Jenkins (13) in the first game without Dallas Goedert due to an MCL sprain. Ertz ended up hauling in just one of two targets for nine yards, but he figures to ramp up his workload moving forward as he puts his own torn ACL from last December further in the rearview mirror.

Eagles' Zach Ertz: Goes back to practice squad
Ertz reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Ertz brought in one of two targets for nine yards during Monday's 27-7 loss at Chicago. It was a mostly uneventful return to his old team, but given he was just signed a week ago, it's relatively impressive he led Philadelphia's tight ends in targets in Week 3. With starter Dallas Goedert's (knee) near-term availability still uncertain and rookie second-rounder Eli Stowers (hamstring) still on IR, Ertz has a good chance of being called up again for a Week 4 matchup versus the Rams.

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

Eagles' Zach Ertz: Signs deal with Eagles
Ertz signed with the Eagles' practice squad Tuesday, Chris McPherson of the team's official site reports.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Monday that the 35-year-old Ertz would sign with the Eagles as a member of the practice squad, and that was confirmed a day later. Ertz, who won his lone Super Bowl ring and earned each of his three Pro Bowl nods as a member of the Eagles from 2013 through 2021, may need some time to get back up to full speed after tearing his ACL last December and then not participating in training camp with a team. Once he's fully ramped up, Ertz could settle in as the Eagles' top tight end with Dallas Goedert (knee) facing a multi-week absence and with Eli Stowers (quadriceps/hamstring) and Grant Calcaterra (back) already on injured reserve.

Zach Ertz: Joins Eagles practice squad
Ertz is signing with Philadelphia's practice squad, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
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: 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.
Ertz tore his ACL early last December, but he's made enough progress in his rehab to be deemed medically ready to practice. Per Schefter, the veteran tight end worked out with former NFL quarterback and college teammate Andrew Luck on Tuesday and is looking to sign with a team in mid-August. He's currently 36 years old but should nonetheless have appeal to tight end-needy teams, as Ertz was productive in racking up 1,158 yards and 11 touchdowns on 116 receptions across 30 games over the last two seasons with the Commanders.
