Zach Ertz has signed with the Detroit Lions ahead of their game against the San Francisco 49ers. The tight end will be part of the practice squad, but is set to be activated before the NFC Championship match.
Earlier this year, the Arizona Cardinals released Zach Ertz. Reports indicated that the tight end expressed a desire to sign with a Super Bowl contender. Now, he has made the decision to join one of the four teams still in contention this season.
Ertz, who secured a Super Bowl LII victory with the Eagles, is eager to pursue his second Vince Lombardi trophy. While his addition will undoubtedly strengthen Goff’s offense, he is anticipated to serve as a dependable backup.
Currently, Sam Laporta serves as the star tight end for the Lions, proving to be a notable target for Jared Goff. However, with Ertz’s arrival, Laporta’s workload is expected to diminish, creating a dual threat that could pose a challenge for the 49ers.

Unfortunately for the Lions, the 49ers are one of the best teams at defending against tight ends. During the regular season, their defense only allowed three touchdowns and 827 yards to tight ends. Nevertheless, Detroit is determined to improve upon these numbers in the NFC Championship game.
For how many teams has Zach Ertz played?
Zach Ertz started his career playing for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2013. The NFC East team drafted him with the 35th overall pick, and he quickly became a remarkable asset for Nick Foles.
