Veteran tight end Zach Ertz is rejoining Philadelphia, where he played from 2013 to 2021 and won a Super Bowl, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Veteran tight end Zach Ertz is signing with the Philadelphia Eagles and will join the team's practice squad, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Ertz spent last season with the Washington Commanders. He originally played for the Eagles from 2013 through 2021 and was part of the franchise's first Super Bowl championship team.
The move comes with tight end Dallas Goedert expected to miss multiple weeks because of a sprained medial collateral ligament, leaving Philadelphia in need of an experienced option at the position.
Because Ertz is headed to the practice squad rather than the active roster, his availability for upcoming games is not yet determined. Fans watching for his return to the field may need to wait until he is elevated.
