  • Won't be healthy for some time

    Ertz told Les Bowen of The Philadelphia Inquirer on Monday that it'll take some time to get back to 100 percent. "They said it's probably going to take another month to feel back to myself after everything that went on," Ertz added.

    Analysis: Ertz was referencing the cracked rib and lacerated kidney that's inhibited him since he picked them up Week 16. The issues combined to keep Ertz sidelined in the regular-season finale, and he wasn't medically cleared to play through the latter concern until Saturday. He proceeded to play 88 percent of the offensive snaps during Sunday's wild-card loss to the Seahawks, gathering in two of four passes for 44 yards in the process. With plenty of time to recover, Ertz no doubt will be healthy by…read more

  • Pair of grabs in final loss

    Ertz (ribs) secured two of four targets for 44 yards in the Eagles' 17-9 wild-card loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: Ertz battled back from both ribs and kidney injuries to play in the contest, but he ultimately was only able to make a modest impact. The fact Carson Wentz (concussion) was knocked out of the game early certainly didn't help Ertz's cause, and backup Josh McCown turned much more often to Ertz's position mate Dallas Goedert. Ertz finished the regular season with the second-highest reception (88), receiving yardage (916) and touchdown (six) totals of his career across 15 games, and he'll look to…read more

  • Suiting up for wild-card round

    Ertz (ribs) is listed as active Sunday against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: In Week 16, Ertz played through a cracked rib and lacerated kidney, which combined to force a hospital visit after the game. Thus, it's no surprise he didn't suit up for Philly's regular-season finale. Per Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Ertz didn't get cleared for contact until Saturday, but his ability to log limited practices all week put him into a position to return. While Ertz will be available to an Eagles offense short of experience in the skill positions, he may be relegated…read more

  • Expects to be cleared to play

    Ertz (ribs) is expected to be cleared to play in Sunday's wild-card matchup with the Seahawks, Derrick Gunn of NBCS Philly reports.

    Analysis: Ertz suffered a lacerated kidney and broken ribs in Week 16, but he has apparently recovered enough to give it a go Sunday. Coach Doug Pederson expressed optimism regarding his status at Friday's news conference, so he has seemingly been trending in this direction. Still, there has been no official announcement made yet by the team.

  • Listed as questionable

    Ertz (ribs/back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's playoff game against the Seahawks after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

    Analysis: As of Friday, Ertz had yet to to be cleared for contact, with coach Doug Pederson noting that the Eagles are awaiting word "on a few doctor results (Saturday). If things go favorable, (Ertz) will play and if they don't, he won't." If the tight end isn't cleared to suit up, or ends up being limited Sunday, added looks would be available for the capable Dallas Goedert.

  • Not cleared for contact

    Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Ertz (ribs/back) has yet to be cleared for contact, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old should work as a limited participant for the third straight practice as the team awaits test results Saturday. Pederson also said, "If things go favorable he'll play. If they don't, he won't [play]." Ertz likely will be listed as questionable when the Eagles release their official injury report later Friday, but his status is unlikely to receive a worthwhile update for the wild-card matchup until Saturday.

  • Logs another limited session

    Ertz (ribs/back) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday.

    Analysis: We'll look for added clarity with regard to the tight end's status Friday, but it was reported Wednesday that he hasn't yet been cleared for contact. If Ertz gets the green light on that front in advance of the Eagles' final practice of the week, his outlook for Sunday's game against the Seahawks would brighten, but given that it's the postseason, he'll no doubt do anything in his power to be available this weekend.

  • Listed as limited

    Ertz (rib/back) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: The Eagles conducted a walk-through Wednesday, so what Ertz does Thursday should be more relevant with regard to his status for Sunday's playoff game against the Seahawks. The tight end hopes to tough things out this weekend, but Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal previously relayed that at this stage of the week, Ertz is not yet medically cleared to take contact.

  • Not cleared for contact

    Ertz (rib) hasn't been cleared for contact, but he may participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

    Analysis: The Eagles hope to have Ertz available for Sunday's playoff game against Seattle, though he'll likely be fighting through pain if he's able to suit up. The tight end is recovering from a cracked rib and a kidney laceration, having already missed a crucial game Week 17 against the Giants. Another absence would translate to expanded roles for fellow tight ends Dallas Goedert and Joshua Perkins.

  • Hoping to return for wild-card game

    Coach Doug Pederson confirmed that Ertz (ribs/back/kidney) has a chance to return for Sunday's playoff game against the Seahawks, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Pederson refused to elaborate, neither confirming nor denying recent reports that suggest Ertz is recovering from a lacerated kidney as well as a cracked rib. The tight end played through his injuries in a Week 16 win over Dallas, but he wasn't able to suit up Week 17 against the Giants. Dallas Goedert and Joshua Perkins took on larger roles in Ertz's absence, with the former playing 100 percent of offensive snaps while the latter handled 78 percent (career highs for both).

  • Has chance to play wild-card round

    Ertz (rib/back), who won't play in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Giants, could be available for the wild-card round if the Eagles clinch a playoff spot in Week 17, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rapoport relays that in addition to playing through a cracked rib in the Eagles' crucial Week 16 win over the Cowboys, Ertz also suffered a lacerated kidney that hospitalized him after the game. The tight end was also listed with a more minor back issue on the Eagles' official injury report this week, and the trio of injuries unsurprisingly kept him from practicing with the team Wednesday through Friday. It's far from a lock that Ertz will be ready to play by next weekend, and he would likely…read more

  • Sidelined for Week 17

    The Eagles have ruled Ertz (rib/back) out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Ertz wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week while nursing a fractured rib and a back injury, effectively sealing his fate for the regular-season finale. Philadelphia will thus look to clinch the NFC East title without the services of two of its top targets in Ertz and wideout Nelson Agholor (knee), who will be sidelined for a fourth straight game.

    Analysis: Coach Doug Pederson said earlier Friday that Ertz would take part in the session, but the tight end apparently wasn't feeling good enough to take the field.

    Ertz (ribs/back) is expected to practice Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: The extent of Ertz's participation won't be known until after the session concludes, but any activity would be an upgrade over the previous two days. Ertz is not out of the woods just yet, and it's possible a final decision on his availability for Sunday's matchup with the Giants won't be made until game day.

  • Dealing with rib, back injuries

    Ertz was held out of practice Thursday due to rib and back injuries, Les Bowen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: After missing some time in the first half of the Eagles' Week 16 win against the Cowboys, Ertz returned to action but made little impact as a receiver the rest of the way, finishing with four catches (on six targets) for 28 yards. On Monday, it was revealed that the tight end suffered a broken rib, which was the sole reason for his absence from practice Wednesday. One day later, the back issue was tacked on the injury report, further clouding Ertz's status. Pederson noted Thursday that Ertz…read more

Per Tim McManus of ESPN.com, Pederson previously suggested that it's more realistic that Ertz sits out Week 17 and returns from his fractured rib to play in a potential wild-card round game the following week, but the Eagles will see what's he able to do Friday before deciding…read more

    The Eagles listed Ertz (ribs) as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: Ertz's listing doesn't come as a major surprise after he reportedly played through a fractured rib in the Eagles' Week 16 win over the Cowboys. As a victory over Washington on Sunday would secure a postseason spot for Philadelphia, Ertz is pushing hard to play in Week 17, though it's unclear if he'll get the green light from doctors and athletic trainers, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

    Offensive coordinator Mike Groh said Tuesday that it's "too early" to know if Ertz (ribs) will factor into the Week 17 game plan, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Ertz sustained a fractured rib in the first quarter of this past Sunday's win against the Cowboys. While he returned to the field in time for a two-minute drill before halftime and closed out the contest, he managed just four catches for 28 yards and no TDs on six targets. In an Eagles receiving corps devoid of most of its top options at wide receiver, Ertz and Dallas Goedert have been among Carson Wentz's favorite regular targets the past few weeks.

    Ertz sustained a fractured rib in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Cowboys and will undergo further testing Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After taking a hard shot to the ribs in the first quarter, Ertz gutted it out through the painful injury, playing 82 percent of the Eagles' offensive snaps en route to making four catches for 28 yards on six targets. The adrenaline might have helped Ertz carry on in the crucial win, but the Eagles will await the results of follow-up tests before determining his fate for the Dec. 29 regular-season finale versus the Giants.

  • Getting tests for rib injury

    Coach Doug Pederson confirmed that Ertz will undergo further testing after the tight end sustained a rib injury in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Cowboys, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Ertz briefly exited in the first quarter after taking a shot to the ribs from Dallas' Xavier Woods, but he returned just before intermission and played the entire second half. However, despite playing 59 of the Eagles' 72 snaps (82 percent) on the day, Ertz was a lesser version of himself, converting six targets into four catches for 28 yards.

  • Limited production in Sunday's win

    Ertz (ribs) caught four of six targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The tight end missed most of the first half after taking a shot to the ribs, but he returned toward the end of the second quarter and stayed in the lineup after halftime. Dallas Goedert took his place as the primary option for Carson Wentz, however, seeing double Ertz's targets and catching Wentz's only TD pass. Given that he was able to play through the rib issue Sunday, Ertz will likely suit up in Week 17 as the Eagles try to clinch the NFC East title, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Goedert…read more

His two-yard touchdown gave the Eagles a 24-21 lead with 9:59 to play.

    Ertz caught nine of 13 targets for 91 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 23-17 overtime win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Ertz stepped up with Philadelphia's pass-catching options depleted, scoring both the game-tying and game-winning touchdowns. The tight end led the Eagles in all major receiving categories, grabbing a team-long, 30-yard reception for good measure as well. Should Philly's receiving corps remain ravaged by injury in Week 15 versus Washington, Ertz would figure to continue playing a prominent role, but considering he's posted at least nine catches for 90 yards in four of his last five outings, he's…read more

    Ertz (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Ertz was only able to practice once this week in a limited fashion, but the Eagles signed off on him playing after he completed a pregame workout earlier Sunday without incident. Philadelphia hasn't indicated that Ertz will be limited at all in Week 13, but if he is, Dallas Goedert would stand to pick up more reps at tight end than usual.

An official decision on Ertz's availability will be made around 11:30 a.m. ET, when the Eagles will release their seven-man inactive list.

    The Eagles list Ertz (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Despite Ertz's lack of on-field reps leading up to Sunday, the Eagles are apparently optimistic the tight end will be good to go for gameday, as teammate Dallas Goedert suggested would be the case Friday when he spoke to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Ertz was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday but returned to the field Friday. It isn't clear if Ertz was a limited or full participant in the session, and he'll likely be listed as questionable even if the Eagles fully expect him to play this weekend. For what it's worth, Ertz confirmed that he's on track to suit up, saying "See ya Sunday" when he walked past reporters, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Ertz (hamstring) will practice Friday, and there's growing optimism that he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It won't be clear until after Friday's practice how much Ertz was able to do in the Eagles' final session of Week 13, but even if he goes down as a limited participant, that would represent a step up from what he did either of the previous two days. The Eagles will reveal whether Ertz carries a designation into Sunday shortly after practice concludes, but a final call on his availability may not be made until game day.

  • Receives 'DNP' on Thursday's report

    Ertz (hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report.

    Analysis: The Eagles have held just one session this week, but Ertz didn't join his teammates on the field Wednesday and instead worked out on the side with the training staff. Through six-plus NFL seasons, he's missed just five of a possible 107 games, and it's unclear if there's about to be a sixth. Friday's report should provide an inkling of Ertz's odds to play Sunday in Miami.

    Ertz missed Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

    Analysis: During the portion of the session open to the media, Ertz worked out a side field, per Tim McManus of ESPN.com. The lack of activity with the team manifested itself as a "DNP" on the Eagles' first report for Week 13, leaving Ertz as the highest-profile player on the roster to track as the week goes on. Behind Ertz, Dallas Goedert is next up at tight end.

    Ertz was seen working out on the side during the portion of Wednesday's practice that was open to the media, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Eagles haven't previously revealed that Ertz is tending to an injury, but the team's first practice report of Week 13 will provide an explanation for why the tight end wasn't participating with the main group. Given that Ertz has logged 36 targets over the last three contests, it's possible that the Eagles are simply giving the 29-year-old some much-needed rest.

  • Takes advantage of 14 targets

    Ertz hauled in 12 of his 14 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 12 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Ertz was one of Carson Wentz's few healthy receivers and took advantage by drawing 14 targets -- his second-highest total of the season. Nearly all of that production came in second half, as he registered just three catches for 19 yards in the first two quarters. Nevertheless, Ertz now has at least nine catches and 90 yards in three consecutive contests. Though it appears Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and Nelson Agholor (knee) have the potential to return next week against the Dolphins, their…read more

  • Resurgence continues in loss

    Ertz caught nine of 11 targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: The catches, targets and yards were all team highs. Carson Wentz didn't have a lot of time in the pocket against the Pats' pass rush, particularly after right tackle Lane Johnson (head) left the game, and as a result Eagles' tight ends ended up hauling in 12 of Wentz's 20 completions as he had to get rid of the ball quickly. Ertz has now caught 18 passes on 22 targets for 197 yards and a TD over the last two games, and his hot streak could continue Week 12 against a Seahawks defense that's…read more

    Analysis: Ertz led the team in targets and was the only Eagles player with more than 39 receiving yards. He caught a beautiful 25-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, doubling his season output in that category. This was Ertz's first 100-yard game since Week 16 of last season, giving fantasy owners a glimpse of the tight end they expected on draft day. Coming off his best game of the season, Ertz will turn his attention to a Week 11 home matchup with the Patriots following Philadelphia's bye.

  • Slump continues

    Ertz caught two of four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Ertz set a season low in yardage for a second straight week while also watching fellow tight end Dallas Goedert score a touchdown for the second game in a row. It's too early to press the panic button on the star tight end, but a Week 9 dud from Ertz against the Bears would certainly set off alarm bells for his owners, especially if Goedert continues to outplay him.

  • Worst statistical output of 2019

    Ertz had two catches (five targets) for 38 yards in Sunday's 37-10 loss to Dallas.

    Analysis: Ertz -- and the Eagles' passing attack as a whole -- couldn't get into any sort of rhythm against the Cowboys' relentless defense. The star tight end set new season lows in receptions, yards and targets in one fell swoop. Outside of this dud, Ertz had been the model of consistency with averages of 5.5 receptions and 61.0 yards over his previous six contests. The recent emergence of fellow tight end Dallas Goedert (four receptions, 69 yards and a touchdown) could frustrate Ertz's fantasy owners,…read more

  • Loses fumble in loss

    Ertz secured four of nine targets for 54 yards and lost a fumble in the Eagles' 38-20 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: Ertz mostly was held in check against a tough Vikings defense, and his fumble came in Vikings territory midway through the fourth quarter and Philadelphia attempting to come back from a 38-20 deficit. The veteran tight end's reception and receiving yardage tallies tied for a season low, even as he logged his second-highest amount of targets on the campaign. Ertz will look to bounce back against the Cowboys in a Week 7 matchup.

  • Scores first TD of 2019

    Ertz caught five of seven targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-6 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Ertz found the end zone from 11 yards out less than a minute before halftime for his first touchdown of the season. The star tight end is coming off consecutive eight-TD campaigns, so he can be expected to pick up the scoring pace moving forward. Next up is a Week 6 date with the Vikings.

  • Paces pass catchers in win

    Ertz brought in seven of eight targets for 65 yards in the Eagles' 34-27 win over the Packers on Thursday.

    Analysis: Ertz paced the Eagles in both receptions and receiving yards on the night, as the passing game took a back seat to the stellar work of Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders on the ground. The veteran tight end is right on pace for his usual hefty workload through the first four games, as he sports a 24-255 line on 30 targets thus far in 2019. Ertz will look to cross the goal line for the first time in a Week 5 battle against the Jets a week from Sunday.

  • Underwhelms in Week 3 loss

    Ertz secured four of seven targets for 64 yards in the Eagles' 27-24 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Ertz was expected to see an avalanche of targets Sunday with both Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) out of action, and although he turned in a serviceable line overall, it was arguably underwhelming given expectations. Ertz did boast a higher YPC than usual, thanks in part to a game-long 23-yard catch. The veteran tight end now has sandwiched a pair of seven-target tallies around the whopping 16 looks he logged versus the Falcons in Week 2, but he's still in search of his first…read more

  • Primed for huge volume

    Ertz and Nelson Agholor are expected to draw increased attention from Carson Wentz while fellow pass catchers DeSean Jackson (abdomen), Alshon Jeffery (calf) and Dallas Goedert (calf) recover from injuries, Lauren Williams of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: With Goedert, Jackson and Jeffery all unavailable for the majority of Sunday's 24-20 loss to Atlanta, Ertz reached 16 targets for the sixth time in his career. Every previous instance resulted in triple-digit yardage, but the Falcons held him to eight catches for 72 yards. Ertz and Agholor should be busy once again Sunday against the Lions, but they'll also draw a lot of attention from the defense.

  • Garners 16 targets

    Ertz caught eight passes (on 16 targets) for 72 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: Ertz actually saw more targets than he did in his Week 1 explosion -- eight catches, 154 yards and two touchdowns -- but the production paled in comparison. It was still a solid performance from the start tight end, especially in PPR formats. Ertz may end up seeing double-digit targets yet again next week against the Lions, as the Eagles' starting wideouts (Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson) both left Sunday's contest and never returned.

  • Targeted seven times in win

    Ertz caught five of his seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 32-27 win over Washington.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old had just one catch on two targets heading into the locker room at halftime but turned it on after that. With DeSean Jackson scoring two long touchdowns on the day, there weren't many red-zone opportunities available, although Ertz did get tackled at the two-yard line after a 26-yard gain to end the third quarter. Alshon Jeffery ended up taking it in on the next play. The Stanford product remains an elite option at tight end heading into a Week 2 road tilt at Atlanta.

  • Makes brief preseason appearance

    Ertz caught his lone target for 13 yards in Thursday's 26-15 preseason loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Starting quarterback Carson Wentz got the night off, but Ertz suited up and hauled in a pass from Cody Kessler on the opening drive. The star tight end will sit out Week 4 of preseason to get ready for a Week 1 home tilt against the Redskins.

  • Excited about Jackson addition

    Ertz believes DeSean Jackson's presence will push safeties back and create more space to operate in the middle of the field, Paul Domowitch of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. "Often times, the post safety will eye me up pre-snap a lot of times and know where I am," Ertz said. "If they do that now, DeSean's going to be able to run right past him if their focus is on me or Dallas [Goedert] or Alshon [Jeffery]."

    Analysis: While a repeat of last season's career-high 156 targets is unlikely, Ertz seems to be hinting at the potential for improvement on a career-low mark of 10.0 yards per catch. In addition to his excitement about playing with Jackson, the 28-year-old tight end mentioned that this past offseason was the best he's had in the NFL. He made a quick recovery from the nagging injures he dealt with late in the 2018 campaign, allowing him to reach some new personal bests in the weight room during the…read more

  • Plays through injuries down stretch

    Ertz (undisclosed) did not play in Sunday's Pro Bowl, Daniel Gallen of PennLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Considering Ertz never missed a game and ultimately logged a career-high 91.6 percent of the snaps in 2018, it's safe to say none of his alleged injuries are severe. The tight end nonetheless told reporters he wasn't playing at 100 percent down the stretch. Ertz declined to specify his injury, so it's possible general wear and tear from an 18-game season led to his absence. In any event, Ertz has plenty of time to rest in advance of a 2019 campaign for which the Eagles will return most key…read more

  • Limited in divisional defeat

    Ertz brought in five of eight targets for 50 yards in the Eagles' 20-14 divisional-round playoff loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Ertz's final line was somewhat deceptive, considering two of his catches came on the Eagles' final pair of drives. The Saints were stingy against the tight end position all season, and they lived up to that billing once again Sunday by mixing up their coverage on Ertz between linebackers, safeties and corners. It was a relatively quiet end to a career season for the 28-year-old, who finished the campaign with a record-setting 116 grabs for 1,163 yards and eight touchdowns. On the books for just…read more

  • Five catches in playoff win

    Ertz caught five of seven targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 16-15 wild-card-round win over Chicago.

    Analysis: Ertz still wasn't his usual dominant self, but this was a major step forward after he produced only 15 yards in the regular-season finale. Quarterback Nick Foles spreads the ball around more than Carson Wentz (back) did, so Ertz isn't seeing the same boatload of targets that he was before Wentz went down, but the talented tight end should still be a big part of Philadelphia's divisional-round gameplan in what will likely be a higher-scoring affair against the Saints.

  • Makes three catches

    Ertz caught three of four targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 24-0 win over the Redskins.

    Analysis: Ertz merely tied for fourth on the team in targets and didn't do much with the looks he did get, as his long gain went for just seven yards. He's failed to reach 40 receiving yards in three of the last four games, but he still enjoyed an outstanding season overall. Ertz finishes the campaign with 116 catches for 1,163 yards and eight touchdowns -- all of which represent career highs. The star tight end will face a tough matchup in next Sunday's wild-card-round game against the Bears.

  • Breaks NFL record in win

    Ertz caught 12 of 16 passing attempts for 110 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-30 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Ertz hauled in one-yard and 23-yard touchdowns in the second and fourth quarters, respectively. However, his most important catch of the day came on the game's final drive when the 28-year-old made a spectacular leaping grab to get the Eagles a key first down and into range for the eventual game-winning field goal. In the process, he broke the NFL's single-season record for catches by a tight end, formerly held by Jason Witten with 110 in 2012. Ertz will again be a top tight-end option Week 17…read more

  • Handles every rep Thursday

    Ertz (ankle) practiced in full Thursday, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.

    Analysis: Limited by an ankle injury at Wednesday's session, Ertz handled every rep presented to him one day later, clearing him for his usual high-volume role in the Eagles' passing attack. He has an exploitable matchup Sunday versus a Texans defense that has given up 84 receiving yards per game and four TDs to tight ends over the last six contests.

  • Limited by ankle injury

    Ertz was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Zach Berman of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: Ertz apparently came out of Sunday's over the Rams with the injury, but his ability to practice in any capacity suggests he should be fine for this weekend's home date with the Texans. While he's never had any trouble getting volume with Nick Foles at quarterback, Ertz's per-target production has been better when he's had Carson Wentz throwing to him. There is cause for optimism in this week's matchup, as Houston has given up seven touchdowns, 63.5 yards per game and 8.8 yards per target to…read more

  • Struggles continue

    Ertz caught three passes (seven targets) for 22 yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Ertz has really struggled over the last two weeks (60 combined receiving yards and no touchdowns) after posting elite numbers through the first 13 weeks of the season. The 28-year-old has still received ample targets (15) during his two-game skid, so this may simply be a cold streak, but it has also come at the worst time for the majority of his fantasy owners. Ertz will look to get back on track against the Texans on Sunday.

  • Quiet in loss

    Ertz caught five passes (eight targets) for 38 yards in Sunday's 29-23 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Ertz turned in a rare clunker, finishing behind fellow tight end Dallas Goedert in yards (44) and touchdowns (one) despite garnering three extra targets. The latter makes his presence felt at times, but Ertz is still clearly the top tight end in Philly and one of Carson Wentz's most trusted targets. This one can simply be written off as a dud, and Ertz will look to bounce back against the Rams in Week 15. Los Angeles finally has both of its top corners, Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters, healthy on…read more

    Ertz caught nine of 10 targets for 83 yards in Monday night's 28-13 win over the Redskins.

    Analysis: Ertz was his ever-present self in the Eagles passing game, helping the team move the sticks in a variety of ways. In fact, with his nine catches, Ertz set a new franchise record for receptions in a single season, yet still has four games to improve on his total of 93. He'll look to do so in a big way Week 14 versus the Cowboys, who he already caught 14 passes for 145 yards and two touchdowns against Week 10.

    Analysis: Ertz tied the Eagles' single-season record for catches by a tight end with his 81st of the season in the second quarter, finding the end zone from 15 yards out on the play. He went on to shatter that mark as the game went on, bringing his season totals up to 84 catches, 895 yards and six touchdowns. Ertz is putting together one of the greatest tight end campaigns of all time, and his dominance should continue in Week 13 against the Redskins on Monday Night Football.

  • Disappoints in huge loss

    Ertz caught two of three targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 48-7 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: Coming off a monster 14-catch game in Week 10, Ertz laid an egg on Sunday as nothing much went right for the Eagles. The effort snapped a streak of six straight games in which Ertz either topped 100 yards or scored in each contest. A bad showing against what was supposed to be a weak New Orleans pass defense doesn't change that, but he'll face a tougher test next Sunday against a Giants defense that has been middle-of-the-road against the pass, averaging 245 passing yards per game.

    Analysis: Ertz was an absolute beast in this one, setting new season highs in receptions, targets, yards and touchdowns in one fell swoop. The newly acquired Golden Tate (two catches) barely cut into the tight end's targets, and Ertz appears to still be Carson Wentz's most trusted target in key situations.
