Ertz and McKelvin out again, Kendricks should play

Eagles Coach Doug Pederson told reporters Friday that cornerback Leodis McKelvin and tight end Zach Ertz will again be out Sunday when the Eagles host the Steelers.

Pederson said linebacker Mychal Kendricks should be able to play. Kendricks has been dealing with a broken nose and strained quadriceps.

Ertz and McKelvin also sat out last week’s game with injuries they suffered in the season opener. The Eagles don’t play next week, and Pederson said he expects both to be able to return after the bye week.

Ertz has a displaced rib and told reporters this week he’s dealing with too much pain to be able to play. McKelvin has a hamstring injury.

Though Brent Celek was the listed starter last week with Ertz out, tight end Trey Burton caught a touchdown pass in the Eagles’ win over the Bears.

Pederson also said offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo will also miss another game.
