What to know

  • Ertz returns to Philadelphia's practice squad after Dallas Goedert's sprained MCL created a need at tight end.
  • Ertz needs 11 more receptions to pass Harold Carmichael's franchise record of 589 catches.
  • Ertz already owns the Eagles' single-season reception record (116 catches, 2018) and caught the Super Bowl LII-winning touchdown.
  • His path to the record depends on moving from the practice squad to the active roster and earning playing time.

“I would love him to get it, but not at the expense of what we need to do.”
