Ertz (rib/shoulder) may be facing an extended absence, Philly.com reports. "It's a dangerous situation with a displaced bone," head coach Doug Pederson said. "You are talking up around the neck and head area, so any type of blow again could do further damage to that. That's why it's a week-to-week deal to see how it heals and recovers."
Ertz suffered a displacement of the first rib on his left side, which puts him at risk for a more serious injury in his shoulder/neck area. He played through the injury in Sunday's win over the Browns, but he wouldn't have been allowed to do so if the exact nature of the issue had been known at the time. As such, he'll need medical clearance before he's allowed to retake the field, even if the pain quickly subsides. The Eagles therefore consider Ertz "week-to-week", suggesting he's in serious danger of missing multiple games. Brent Celek figures to play the vast majority of offensive snaps while Ertz is sidelined, with Trey Burton (calf) potentially also taking on an expanded role. It will be a major surprise if Ertz is available Monday in Chicago.
