Zach Ertz is playing for Commanders against the Eagles a week after being concussed

Associated Press  

— Zach Ertz is playing for the Washington Commanders on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles a week after leaving their last game at New Orleans with a concussion. Coach Dan Quinn on Friday ruled out only defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, who is eligible to come off injured reserve two months after surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle, leaving the door open for Ertz and Chinn to play in a game that could get Washington into the playoffs. The Eagles can clinch the NFC East and one of the top two seeds in the conference if they win their 11th game in a row. Commanders cornerback Michael Davis was a healthy scratch in Marshon Lattimore’s second game with them.
