Zach Ertz Cleared for Return After Scary Rib Injury
In week one, Zach Ertz took a hit that displaced one of his ribs, a dangerous injury that was – at the time – described as “significant.” However, recovery didn’t take long.
Zach Ertz said he was cleared by doctors today. Said rib that was displaced is 100 pct. healthy. #Eagles

The seriousness of the injury didn’t mean a long absence, and Ertz has been cleared to return against the Lions this week. The Eagles will be at full strength for the first time this season.
