Commanders' Zach Ertz Ruled Out After Concussion Diagnosis Against Saints

The veteran tight end left the game in the second quarter following a hard tackle that led to head injury concerns.

Zach Ertz, a 13-year NFL veteran, suffered a concussion during the Washington Commanders' Week 15 game against the New Orleans Saints.
The injury occurred after Ertz made a one-handed catch and was tackled hard near the Saints' 4-yard line, hitting his head on the turf.
Ertz initially walked off the field under his own power but was later ruled out for the remainder of the game following medical evaluation.
Before exiting, Ertz recorded two catches for 25 yards, contributing to the Commanders' early 14-0 lead in the game.
John Bates and rookie Ben Sinnott are next in line on the Commanders' tight end depth chart following Ertz's injury.
