Philadelphia, PA, September 21, 2026 —
Veteran tight end Zach Ertz is set to rejoin the Philadelphia Eagles, signing with the team’s practice squad. The move comes as the Eagles navigate an injury to their current starting tight end, Dallas Goedert.
Ertz, a prominent figure in recent Eagles history, played a significant role during his initial tenure with the team. His contributions include catching the game-winning touchdown pass in Super Bowl LII, a pivotal moment in the franchise’s history. The 2018 season also stood out as a record-breaking year for Ertz, where he set new benchmarks for tight end production.
During his time in Philadelphia, Ertz developed memorable connections with teammates, notably his widely publicized “blond era” alongside center Jason Kelce. His personal life also garnered attention, with his status as part of a “power couple” alongside his wife, Julie Ertz, a successful soccer player, drawing considerable public interest.
Upon his previous departure from the Eagles, Ertz shared an emotional farewell message with the city of Philadelphia, reflecting the deep ties he had formed with the fanbase and the organization. The specifics regarding the terms of his practice squad contract or the expected duration of his stay were not immediately available.
