Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz exited the game against the New Orleans Saints due to concussion symptoms after a hard fall while making a catch. The incident occurred during a play that set up a touchdown pass from Jayden Daniels to Terry McLaurin, giving the Commanders a 14-0 lead.

Ertz, in his 13th NFL season, had been a key player for Washington, ranking as the second-leading receiver with 52 catches for 501 yards and four touchdowns before his injury.
