Recovering from ACL, MCL surgeries Ertz disclosed Thursday that the season-ending surgery he underwent in late November addressed ACL and MCL damage in his left knee, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site rep...
Impact Based on the recovery timeline typically associated with ACL surgeries, Ertz won't be available for the Cardinals' offseason program this spring, and the fact that his procedure also required an MCL repair adds another complication as he embarks on what will likely be an arduous rehab process. For his part, Ertz said that he's hopeful that he'll be ready to go for Week 1 of the 2023 season, but even if he endures no setbacks in the rehab process, he seems unlikely to be fully cleared for the start of training camp in late July. The Cardinals will turn to rookie second-round pick Trey McBride to serve as their top tight end for the rest of the current season, and perhaps in the early stages of the 2023 campaign, too.

Officially placed on IR The Cardinals placed Ertz (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Impact This move was inevitable after coach Kliff Kingsbury announced Nov. 16 that Ertz was slated for season-ending surgery for the knee injury he suffered Week 10. But the Cardinals waited until Marquise Brown (foot) was healthy enough to be activated from IR, which came to pass Saturday. With Ertz sidelined, Arizona will turn to Trey McBride as the team's top tight end, with Stephen Anderson and practice-squad member Maxx Williams the other options at the position.

Murray, Cards on cusp of lost year after season-long issues
Kyler Murray’s journey to NFL stardom appears to have hit a plateauNOVEMBER 20, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ruled out for season Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury confirmed Wednesday that Ertz (knee) is scheduled for surgery and will miss the remainder of the 2022 season, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports...
Impact A second opinion apparently confirmed that Ertz won't be able to play again this season. Rookie Trey McBride took on a three-down role following Ertz's departure from the Cardinals' Week 10 win over the Rams, but Arizona could also look to get Stephen Anderson involved down the stretch. Ertz is under contract through 2024, with $4 million of his 2023 salary fully guaranteed and another $3 million guaranteed for injury, per Spotrac.com.

Seeking second opinion Ertz plans to get a second opinion on the knee injury that he suffered Sunday against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.
Impact Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the tight end's knee injury is believed to be a season-ending issue, with Weinfuss confirming that Ertz is out indefinitely. For his part, Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury noted that the team expects to have a clearer picture regarding Ertz's status later Monday or Tuesday. In Ertz's looming absence, TEs Trey McBride and Stephen Anderson are in line to see added opportunities in Arizona's passing game in the coming weeks.

Report: Zach Ertz Suffers Season-Ending Injury Tight end had been on pace to smash franchise receiving record
NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • AZCARDINALS.COM
Reportedly out for season Ertz is believed to have suffered a season-ending knee injury Sunday against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Initially, it was reported that Ertz had avoided a season ender and would be sidelined for multiple weeks, but it appears an MRI on Monday revealed significant damage to his knee. The veteran tight end thus is in line to end the 2022 campaign with 47 receptions on 69 targets for 406 yards and four scores. In his absence, rookie second-round pick Trey McBride likely will operate as the starter, but Stephen Anderson also could see an increased offensive role moving forward.

Multi-week absence expected Ertz (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks but his ACL appears to be intact, though an MRI on Monday will determine the extent of his injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Coach Kliff Kingsbury didn't have an immediate update on Ertz's injury after the game, but it appears Ertz will likely sit out multiple games after hurting his knee in the first quarter of Sunday's 27-17 win over the Rams. Trey McBride will start at tight end while Ertz is sidelined.

Impact Ertz didn't return to the game after being carted to the locker room in the first quarter. He'll have one extra day to heal up since the Cardinals don't play until MNF against the 49ers in Week 11, but it's unclear if the veteran tight end's currently viewed as day-to-day, week-to-week or worse. If Ertz misses additional time, rookie second-round pick Trey McBride would ascend to the top of Arizona's tight end depth chart.
