Philadelphia Eagles Add Veteran Tight End Zach Ertz to Practice Squad
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed veteran tight end Zach Ertz to their practice squad following an injury to Dallas Goedert, who is expected to miss several weeks with a sprained MCL.
Philadelphia, PA, September 22, 2026 —
The Philadelphia Eagles have bolstered their tight end depth by signing veteran Zach Ertz to their practice squad. This move comes after a key injury to current starter Dallas Goedert.
Goedert sustained a sprained MCL, an injury that is expected to sideline him for several weeks. The timeline for his return was not specified beyond the “several weeks” estimate.
Ertz, a familiar face for the Eagles, brings a wealth of experience to the team. The veteran tight end previously played for the Eagles for many seasons before being traded to the Arizona Cardinals. His addition to the practice squad provides an immediate option for depth and potential game-day activation should the team require it.
The specific terms of Ertz’s contract with the practice squad were not immediately disclosed.
The Eagles organization has not provided further details regarding the injury timeline for Goedert or the specific role Ertz is expected to fill during his time on the practice squad.
