Once the Cardinals take Ertz of the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list, he will have full clearance for all practices and games. The sole remaining player on the Cardinals’ PUP list is none other than former Rookie of the Year quarterback Kyler Murray.
Although Zach Ertz’s tenure with the Cardinals has yet to witness a full season, the 32-year-old was putting up great numbers before his devastating injury.
In the 9 full games that Ertz was active, he averaged close to 45 yards per game and grabbed four touchdowns.Â
This season will be Zach’s 10th season of his NFL career.
