The Philadelphia Eagles won't have tight end Zach Ertz or cornerback Leodis McKelvin back in time to play versus the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend, but coach Doug Pederson said they'll be back after their Week 4 bye.
Ertz, who piled up 853 yards on 75 catches last season, displaced a rib in the Eagles' season-opening win over the Cleveland Browns and is ruled out for Week 3. A timetable for his return was unknown, but Pederson confirmed with reporters Friday he'll be back next month. McKelvin (hamstring), meanwhile, is expected to return with Ertz against the Lions on Oct. 9.
Pederson also ruled offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo (pec) out for the Steelers game. Linebacker Mychal Kendricks (nose, quad) is expected to play.
