Garafolo adds Ertz is on track to start in Week 1 after tearing his ACL and MCL nine months ago in Week 10 of last season. 

Ertz, 32, is a former second-round pick of the Eagles back in 2013. He was traded to the Cardinals during the 2021 season for CB Tay Gowan and a 2022 fifth-round pick.

Ertz played out the final year of his six-year, $43.64 million contract that included $20 million guaranteed and a base salary of $8.25 million for the 2021 season. 

He was in line to be an unrestricted free agent when he agreed to a three-year, $31.65 million contract with $17.5 million guaranteed last year with the Cardinals. 

In 2022, Ertz appeared in 10 games for the Cardinals and caught 47 passes for 406 yards receiving and four touchdowns.
