Zach Ertz

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Zach Ertz is in concussion protocol.

Ertz exited in the second quarter of Sunday’s win over the Saints and was ruled out with a concussion after halftime. The veteran tight end will have to clear protocol this week if he hopes to suit up for Week 16’s game against the Eagles. In addition to Ertz, safety Jeremy Chinn also landed himself in concussion protocol after Sunday’s game, meaning the Commanders could be without one starter on both sides of the ball.
