Overview
- The Eagles officially elevated tight end Zach Ertz and linebacker Chance Campbell from the practice squad for Monday night’s game in Chicago, putting Ertz on the game-day roster.
- Ertz is expected to play a limited, situational receiving role as he ramps up after a 2025 ACL tear and only rejoined the team last week.
- Starter Dallas Goedert suffered a knee injury in Week 2 and has been ruled out for the Bears game while he recovers for multiple weeks without an immediate move to injured reserve.
- NFL rules let teams temporarily elevate up to two practice-squad players per game and allow a player three regular-season elevations, a mechanism the Eagles used to cover the short-term tight-end shortage without making a permanent roster change.
- The elevation helps an Eagles unit operating with thin tight-end depth (rookie Eli Stowers on IR and Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins in limited roles) and gives quarterback Jalen Hurts a familiar target while the club monitors Ertz’s snap count and effectiveness.
