Cardinals' Zach Ertz ineligible to play in Week 6
Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz is not eligible to play in the team's Week 6 game against the Cleveland Browns following his trade from the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this week.
The NFL does not permit its players to participate in more than one game per week, so Ertz (who played for the Eagles on Thursday Night Football) will not be eligible to play for the Cardinals until Week 7. Ertz has already joined up with his new team however, and hopes to become an important piece of their offense.
The Cardinals likely acquired Ertz after losing Maxx Williams (knee) for the season, so Ertz should (at least for now) be expected to handle Williams' role in the offense going forward. Williams had averaged 5 catches for 59.7 yards in Weeks 2-4 as part of the Cardinals' high-flying 2021 offense.
