Washington tight end Zach Ertz has cleared concussion protocol and will play on Sunday against one of his former teams, the Philadelphia Eagles, Commanders coach Dan Quinn told ESPN.

Ertz, 34, was listed as questionable because of a concussion and a shoulder issue that limited him at practice this week. He suffered a concussion during Washington’s 20-19 victory last Sunday at New Orleans.

Washington signed Ertz as a free agent in March. The three-time Pro Bowl selection (2017-19) has started all 14 games for the Commanders and has 54 receptions on 77 targets for 526 yards and four touchdowns.

Philadelphia selected Ertz in the second round (35th overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft out of Stanford. He has 763 career receptions for 7,960 yards and 50 touchdowns in 165 regular-season games (127 starts) for the Eagles (2013-21), Arizona Cardinals (2021-23) and Commanders.

Washington (9-5) is hosting NFC East leader Philadelphia (12-2) with three regular-season games remaining and also is contending for a wild-card spot.
