With Zach Ertz sidelined for the preseason after undergoing surgery to repair a core muscle injury, the Eagles will need to look no further than tight end Trey Burton and their trio of undrafted rookies to step in, fill the void and gain valuable playing experience.

Now, with his teammate down, the opportunity to showcase his talents has only grown larger.
“I’m just trying to take advantage of every opportunity I get out there,” Burton said.
