The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Saturday that they have elevated tight end Zach Ertz and offensive tackle John Ojukwu from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Ertz is set to play in London eight years after scoring a touchdown there in 2018, and he is just eight catches away from breaking Harold Carmichael's franchise record of 589 receptions.
