Zach Ertz Could Return to Eagles | Washington Commanders News

About this episode

Zach Ertz, the veteran tight end who tore his ACL last season with the Commanders, is reportedly cleared to play and open to a potential reunion with the Eagles — the team that drafted him. With Dallas Goedert as their primary tight end, Philly could use Ertz’s veteran presence and familiarity with their system. While his stint in D.C. didn’t pan out, he remains a Pro Bowler with deep ties to Philly. The Commanders, meanwhile, are building for the future with younger talent like Chig Okonkwo and Ben Sinnott, making Ertz expendable. A return to midnight green could be both a feel-good story and a smart move for both sides — but don’t count on it yet.

It's September 5th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Washington Commander's News Today. AI-powered updates on your squad. Word is that, Earth's, the veteran's high end, might be heading back to Philly. Remember, he tore his ACL last season playing for the commanders, and that pretty much ended his time there. He's been rehabbing and is now clear to play again, and reports say he's open to rejoining the Eagles, the team that originally drafted him. This move makes sense for both sides. Earth's gets a chance to potentially finish his career where it started, and the Eagles could use some depth that tied in, especially with Dallas Guder. Being their main guy, Earth's was a pro-bolaer multiple times with Philly, so he knows the system and the city. Even though Earth's had a stint with Washington, his roots are with the Eagles. He became a star there, and while things didn't quite work out in DC, he brought valuable veteran presence during a tough time. It's rare in the NFL for players to get a chance to go back to their original team, but it looks like that's a real possibility for him.

The commanders, meanwhile, seem to be moving on. They brought in new talent like Chigel Conquo, who brings speed and athleticism. They also have John Bates for blocking and Ben Sinett, a second-round pick who needs to prove himself. They're building for the future, and don't seem to need Earth anymore. So it's looking like a potential reunion for Zach Earths and the Eagles. It's all part of the business of football, but it could be a feel-good story to see him back in Midnight Green, potentially contributing in a different role. We'll have to wait and see if the Eagles make a move.
