Eagles tight end Zach Ertz will not play in the preseason due to a core muscle injury, but should be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, per the Philadelphia Daily News.
Ertz underwent surgery Friday to repair the groin issue, but coach Chip Kelly said the injury should be fine by the time the team opens the season on Sept. 13.
Ertz caught 58 passes for 702 yards and three touchdowns last year.
