Ertz has a chance to fill the Eagles' void at tight end with a potential return on the table, according to league sources. Nothing is imminent as the 35-year-old is nearing the nine-month mark of recovery from a scary knee injury suffered on Dec. 7, but Ertz would welcome a return to the Eagles for his 14th season. Calcaterra has been dealing with injuries, and even though he's had some big moments, he's not a better option than Zach Ertz.

Zach Ertz has a chance to fill the Eagles' void at tight end with a potential return on the table, according to league sources. The 35-year-old is nearing the nine-month mark of recovery from a knee injury suffered on Dec. 7, and Ertz would welcome a return to the Eagles for his 14th season. The Eagles' tight end room feels incomplete with Eli Stowers struggling in training camp and dealing with a hamstring injury, E.J. Jenkins considered a bubble player despite a good summer, and Grant Calcaterra on IR missing at least the first four games. Calcaterra, despite some big moments, is not a better option than Ertz, positioning Ertz as a potential solution to the Eagles' tight end depth concerns.

Zach Ertz back to the Eagles would make a lot of sense - with Eli Stowers needing more time to develop, Ertz can reliably fill in for various situations as strong TE depth If Goedert went down, I don't know that they'd feel good about Stowers being the receiving TE - enter Ertz

Eli Stowers reports that Zach Ertz is healthy after tearing his right ACL in December and could be a target for the Eagles as a second receiving tight end upgrade over Grant Calcaterra or E.J. Jenkins. Ertz caught 11 balls for 104 yards in the 2024 NFC Championship Game and was on pace for 65 catches and 659 yards before injury; he has chemistry with Jalen Hurts from 2020-2021 and has expressed desire to finish his career in Philadelphia.

PositiveInjuryAug 22, 2026Hogs Haven
Zach Ertz, 35, is pursuing a comeback after undergoing the same surgery as Patrick Mahomes last season while playing for the Washington Commanders. Ertz's rehab metrics are strong: GPS tracking shows his top speed is 99 percent of pre-surgery levels, and post-offseason force-plate jumps show better force than before injury. Ertz stated 'I still feel like I can make a difference in the league as a player' and is spending six hours daily on route work, physical therapy, and weightlifting to prepare for the right opportunity. He and Mahomes motivated each other through text messages during the difficult early rehab phase, with Mahomes helping him through 'the darkest days.' Ertz is waiting for the right situation to sign and enter his 14th pro season.

The Terry McLaurin bull case is really simple in 2026: McLaurin was elite despite being injured last year, David Blough wants to feed him 10+ targets per game, and Jayden Daniels is healthy Here are my dankest McLaurin stats (per @​FantasyPtsData) - 0.169 1D/RR vs. Zone Coverage (WR2) - 0.240 1D/RR on Non-Gimmicky plays (WR1) - 4.31 YPRR on Non-Gimmicky plays (WR3) - 4.18 YPRR on Play Action (WR5) - 6.54 YPRR on Deep Pass Attempts (WR10) With the assumption that Zach Ertz doesn’t return to th...

Veteran TE Zach Ertz has been cleared for all football activities for his 14th NFL season. He had 50 catches for Washington in 13 games last season. The source identifies him as a potential free agent fit for the Panthers, noting that providing Bryce Young with a trusty veteran tight end would be beneficial for the quarterback's confidence and maturation. Last season, Panthers TEs Tommy Tremble and Ja'Tavion Sanders combined for 56 catches; the last Panthers TE with 50-plus catches in a season was Greg Olsen in 2019.
