Zach Ertz Remains in Concussion Protocol

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz is currently in the concussion protocol after suffering symptoms during a game against the New Orleans Saints, where he was injured making a catch. Following the incident, Ertz left the game and was ruled out shortly after. He practiced in a non-contact jersey on Thursday, indicating some progress but remains under evaluation. Despite his efforts, he missed practice on Wednesday due to both rest and the concussion. The team has not confirmed if he will be available for the upcoming game in Week 16, and if he is limited or unable to play, rookie Ben Sinnott may step in. Ertz has been a key player for the Commanders, contributing significantly to their offense this season.
