An hour and a half before the opening kickoff at Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles were dealt some unexpected injury news. Tight end Zach Ertz had been limited in practice during the week with a hamstring injury, but the expectation was that the tight end would be able to suit up on Sunday against the Denver Broncos.
But when the Eagles released their official list of inactive players, Ertz’s name appeared on the list.
Ertz is in the midst of a breakout season, hauling in 43 passes for 528 yards and six touchdowns to this point.
