Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz was in tears on Sunday, December 7, as he was carted off the field with a devastating knee injury. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed on Monday that Ertz, 35, sustained a torn ACL, marking the end of his 2025 season. As a free agent at the end of the season with a lengthy recovery on the way, the injury may have also been a career-ender for the three-time Pro Bowler. "He has meant a lot to our team, both on and off the field," said Quinn, 55, according to The Athletic.
