The Commanders placed Ertz (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday. Ertz will officially miss the remainder of the 2025 season after suffering an ACL tear during Washington's 31-0 loss to the Vikings in Week 14. In his stead, reps at the tight end position are slated to be split between John Bates, Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff. Ertz is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The 35-year-old tight end racked up 50 catches for 504 yards and four touchdowns (72 targets) across 13 regular-season appearances in 2025.

Coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Ertz suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings. With Ertz now slated to miss the rest of the season, John Bates, Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff are in line to handle the Commanders' TE duties down the stretch. Ertz thus finishes his 2025 campaign with 50 catches (on 72 targets) for 504 yards and four TDs in 13 games.

Coach Dan Quinn noted after Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings that Ertz is feared to have torn his ACL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Ertz is destined to undergo further testing to determine the extent of his knee injury, but it looks like the tight end is probably facing an extended absence. If that's the case, the Commanders would turn to John Bates, Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff to handle their TE duties down the stretch.

Ertz won't return to Sunday's game in Minnesota due to a knee injury. Ertz took a hit to his knee on a Marcus Mariota incompletion directed his way in the third quarter. After visiting the sideline tent, Ertz was carted to the locker room and ruled out not long afterward. This appears to be a potentially serious injury, but for the time being he'll finish Week 14 with one catch (on two targets) for 11 yards.

Ertz was carted off the field with a lower leg injury in Sunday's game at Minnesota, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Ertz was hit hard in his knee area during a tackle and had to be helped off the field. He later left on a cart to the locker room.
