Eagles and Zach Ertz Hold Talks as Week 1 Roster Window Narrows

Talks open a path for a low-cost reunion pending medical clearance with final roster decisions due before Week 1.

Overview

  • Howie Roseman confirmed he has spoken with Zach Ertz, praised the veteran, and would not disclose any concrete plans to sign him.
  • Multiple outlets reported Monday that a Philadelphia reunion is 'on the table' as Ertz nears the common nine-month post‑ACL evaluation and has been cleared for football activities.
  • The Eagles entered final roster construction with four tight ends on the 53-man list and face urgency after rookie Eli Stowers struggled in camp and is dealing with a hamstring issue.
  • Reports say Philadelphia has roughly $22 million in cap space, which would make a low-cost veteran signing feasible if medical checks are satisfactory and the team moves a roster spot.
  • If signed, Ertz would provide an experienced pass-catching option behind Dallas Goedert, serve as a mentor for Stowers, and could change early-season playing time and practice-squad plans.
