Eagles won’t see Zach Ertz again until regular season opener

Sam Bradford isn’t the only Eagle getting time to recover.

Via Geoff Mosher of CSNPhilly.com, Eagles coach Chip Kelly said the tight end Zach Ertz has a core muscle injury, and won’t play the rest of the preseason.

He’s still expected to be fine for the start of the regular season, but the Eagles wanted to give him time to rest. He’s seeing Dr. Williams Meyers (the sports hernia specialist in Philadelphia who did Arian Foster’s surgery), but Kelly didn’t know if Ertz would need or already had any kind of procedure.
