Why Zach Ertz's Eagles 'crash course' goes beyond Dallas Goedert

On September 22, the Philadelphia Eagles signed tight end Zach Ertz to their practice squad. This move comes as Dallas Goedert is reportedly out for at least a few games with a sprained meniscus. Ertz is stepping up to the challenge, eager to learn the offense and make an impact for his Philadelphia team. His locker placement near rookie tight end Eli Stowers on IR indicates the Eagles' confidence in his abilities.

Ertz understands his new role, stating, "I'm excited to work with him. We have the same agent, so I've heard a lot about his story, a lot about the talent that he has." The crash course has already begun as Ertz focuses on helping Stowers unlock his full potential.
