Could Zach Ertz finish his career where it all started? The Eagles suddenly have questions at tight end, and a reunion with one of the best pass catchers in franchise history is reportedly on the table. Ertz remains a free agent after recovering from the knee injury that ended his 2025 season. League sources say the 35-year-old would welcome a return to Philadelphia. Grant Calcaterra is on injured reserve, while rookie Eli Stowers has been dealing with a hamstring injury. Ertz is just 11 catches away from becoming the Eagles' all-time leader in receptions. Nothing is imminent, but with Week 1 approaching, Philadelphia has a familiar veteran sitting there if it wants another option at tight end.
