Out at least four games
The #Cardinals are placing three-time Pro Bowl TE Zach Ertz on injured reserve with a quad strain suffered during the game Sunday, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo.
Ertz is out at least four games, but the plan is for him to return this season. Ertz has 27 catches this season. (Tom Pelissero on X)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Ertz has been keeping the seat warm for Trey McBride who should now function as the Cardinals starting tight end. McBride will have some TE2 appeal moving forward but doesn’t have a lot of upside in this low-powered offense.
