The Arizona Cardinals are putting tight end Zach Ertz on injured reserve, NFL Network reported Tuesday.
Ertz will miss a minimum of four games because of a quad strain, but the plan is for him to return this season, per the report.
He suffered the injury in Sunday’s 20-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The earliest Ertz could return is Nov. 26 against the Los Angeles Rams.
A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Ertz has 27 catches for 187 yards and a touchdown on the season.
This is the second straight season that Ertz has landed on IR. Last season, Ertz tore his ACL and MCL in Week 10 during a game against the Rams on Nov. 13.
Ertz, 32, had 47 receptions for 406 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games, all starts, in 2022.
In 11 NFL campaigns, he has caught 709 passes for 7,434 yards and 46 touchdowns.
The Cardinals (1-6) host the Baltimore Ravens (5-2) on Sunday.
