Report: Zach Ertz medically cleared for Wild Card round

Eagles tight end Zach Ertz suffered a kidney laceration and a cracked rib that kept him out Week 17, but he has healed enough to be cleared and will play against the Seahawks according to NBC Philly’s Derrick Gunn..

Ertz had a small cut on his kidney that has healed according to NBC Philly’s John Clark. He has been wearing a flak jacket at practice. We have no confirmation on if he’ll wear it during the game, but it seems likely.

If Ertz is a full go, Dallas Goedert will lose out on some targets but has played full time with so many injuries to Eagles’ receivers. Joshua Perkins would move back to the bench.
