NEW ORLEANS — Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Saints with concussion symptoms, the team announced.
Ertz was banged up while making a reaching, one-handed catch across the middle, banging his head on the turf while being brought down hard from behind by safety Will Harris at the New Orleans four-yard line.
The catch set up Jayden Daniels' second touchdown pass of the game to Terry McLaurin for a 14-0 lead, while Ertz walked on his own to the locker room.
The 34-year-old Ertz, now in his 13th NFL season out of Stanford, entered the game as Washington's second-leading receiver, with 52 catches for 501 yards and four touchdowns.
He had two more catches for 25 yards in New Orleans before leaving the field.
