Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is penciled in for a major role on offense, but he won't be a big part of it if he's on the sidelines.
Ertz went down in training camp with a groin injury early in camp and had surgery that kept him from practicing until yesterday.
"I've been hampered by this for a long time — I think it happened midway through my rookie year probably," Ertz said, via CSN Philly.
"It's something that I've been battling through for a while, just getting it warmed up. It was a full-day process getting it going and warmed up to practice.
