Zach Ertz' status for the Philadelphia Eagles' upcoming Week 3 Monday night showdown with the rival Dallas Cowboys is in jeopardy.
Ertz tested positive for COVID-19, ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷ÍøNetwork's Tom Pelissero reported, and was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Ertz is vaccinated, Pelissero reported, so despite the positive test, the veteran tight end could still play against the Cowboys. Per ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷Íøprotocols, vaccinated players need two negative tests at least 24 hours apart and no symptoms to return to the team.
The 30-year-old Ertz, a three-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion, started on Sunday in the Eagles' 17-11 loss to the 49ers, registering one catch for six yards on two targets. He played in the team's opener, as well, and had two receptions for 34 yards.
