Zach Ertz Targets NFL Return Following ACL Recovery

Free agent tight end Zach Ertz, 35, is actively working toward an NFL return after a torn ACL cut his 2025 season short in Week 14. Despite the injury, Ertz expressed on the New Heights podcast that he is determined to continue his career rather than retire. Coming off a campaign where he recorded 50 receptions for 504 yards and 5 touchdowns as the Commanders' starter, Ertz expects to sign with a team later this summer as he completes his rehabilitation process.
