Ertz Returns: Eagles Tight End Back on Field After Injury
29 Sep
Summary
- Zach Ertz returns to the Eagles for the first time in five years.
- He is playing again after a significant ACL and LCL tear.
- Ertz expressed happiness to return to the team he considers home.
Zach Ertz is set to play for the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, marking his first game with the team in five years. His return comes after a lengthy rehabilitation process following a torn ACL and LCL sustained on December 7th of last year. Ertz was signed to the practice squad after fellow tight end Dallas Goedert suffered an injury, needing to prove his health for a new offense.
Ertz, 35, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play again for a team he feels a strong connection to. He emphasized that his return wasn't about breaking the Eagles' franchise record for receptions, held by Harold Carmichael, but rather about not wanting his career to end on a sour note. He indicated that he had sought opportunities to return to the Eagles in the past, making this comeback particularly meaningful.
