Clear for Week 2 Ertz (hamstring/rest) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Impact Ertz progressed from non-participant Wednesday to limited Thursday before capping Week 2 prep with a full session. Along the way, he was listed with the hamstring injury he picked up in the season-opening win in Atlanta and also with the word "rest," indicating the Eagles were managing his reps. In any case, Ertz will be available to work in tandem with Dallas Goedert at tight end Sunday.

On track to play Sunday Ertz (hamstring/rest) is in line to play Sunday against the 49ers, according to coach Nick Sirianni,Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Friday's final injury report will reveal both Ertz's level of participation in Friday's practice, as well as his official Week 2 injury designation. Assuming he's a go this weekend, Ertz will continue to work in tandem with Dallas Goedert, who drew the start at tight end for the Eagles in Week 1.

Practicing again Friday Ertz (hamstring/rest) is participating at Friday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Ertz sat out Wednesday's practice before returning in a limited fashion Thursday, and his level of participation for Friday's session remains unclear. The 30-year-old's status will receive additional clarity when the official injury report is released later in the day, but he may be able to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers after practicing two straight days.

Limited in return to practice Ertz (hamstring/rest) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Impact The Eagles held Ertz out of Wednesday's session, with the reason being a combination of a hamstring issue and "rest." The former clearly stemmed from the injury that sidelined him for a spell Week 1, but his veteran status likely spurred the latter. Now that he's back on the field, it'll be interesting to see if Ertz can avoid a designation entirely for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

No practice Wednesday Ertz (hamstring/rest) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Among starters on offense, Ertz, running back Miles Sanders (ankle/rest, limited) and right guard Brandon Brooks (knee/rest, no practice) were listed with an injury and "rest" next to their names. The designation is likely a good sign for Ertz after he was unable to take part in stretching before Wednesday's session, but his status will be one to watch as the week goes on. In Sunday's season opener in Atlanta, he missed some time due to a hamstring issue but was able to finish out the game with two catches (on two targets) for 34 yards.
