Zach Ertz is 11 catches from setting Eagles' franchise record

Zach Ertz returns to Philadelphia needing 11 receptions to pass Harold Carmichael as the Eagles’ all-time leader

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Zach Ertz is just 11 receptions away from setting the team's franchise record. Ertz is signing with the Eagles' practice squad following Dallas Goedert's injury. While this helps address the absence, Ertz is also on track to tie or surpass the franchise record set by Harold Carmichael. Currently, Ertz has 579 receptions in his first stint with the team, and he needs just 11 more catches to tie Carmichael's record of 589 or become the all-time leader with 590.

Ertz already holds the single-season record with 116 receptions in 2018 and ranks fifth in franchise history with 6,267 receiving yards.
