Zach Ertz has returned to Eagles practice but he appears another week or two away from returning to the Philadelphia lineup. On Friday, Doug Pederson held his final zoom meeting of the week with local media and he confirmed that Ertz is not ready to return just yet.

Ertz has 24 catches for 178 yards and one touchdown in six games this season.

After missing the past three games because of an ankle injury, Ertz began practicing with the team Wednesday, and the Eagles can activate him from injured reserve at any point during the next three weeks.
