Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz will not play in next Monday night’s game against the Chicago Bears due to a rib injury sustained in Sunday’s season opener against the Cleveland Browns, according to ESPN’s Tim McManus.
That Chicago game might not be the only one Ertz misses.
He’s listed as listed as week-to-week.
“The rib has displaced itself underneath the collarbone, but it’s not a fracture or a broken bone,” Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said. “It’s a dangerous situation with a displaced bone because you’re talking up around the neck and head area, so any type of blow again could do further damage to that. That’s why it’s a week-to-week deal.”
The injury happened in the first quarter, which is insane because Ertz stayed in the game and played well, catching six passes for 58 yards. Other than Brent Celek, Trey Burton is the only other tight end on the roster and he sat out Sunday’s contest due to a calf injury.
In other news, Eagles cornerback Leodis McKelvin is week-to-week with a hamstring strain.
What about Greg Celek????
