Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz was reportedly cleared to play in Sunday's NFC Wild Card Round playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Derrick Gunn of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Ertz did not play in a must-win Week 17 game against the New York Giants because of a fractured rib and lacerated kidney.

The return of Ertz would provide Philly with a huge boost since he led the team in receptions (88), receiving yards (916) and receiving touchdowns (six) during the regular season.
