Commanders TE Zach Ertz, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a concussion and a shoulder injury, is trending toward playing vs. the Eagles, per source.

This season, Ertz has been a reliable pass catcher for the Commanders, reeling in 54 of his 77 targets for 526 yards and four scores.
With Washington fighting for a playoff spot in the NFC, Ertz likely will do everything he can to suit up in this divisional clash.
The Commanders are set as home underdogs in this game, but there is a way to bet on them in the prop market rather than taking a side.
Here’s the best prop bet for Washington’s passing game in Week 16.
Best Zach Ertz Prop for NFL Week 16 vs. Eagles
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.
Zach Ertz OVER 35.5 Receiving Yards (+100)
Earlier this season, Ertz made six catches (on seven targets) for 47 yards and a score against this Philly defense.
He has over 35.5 receiving yards in seven of his 14 games this season, and he's been targeted a good amount by Jayden Daniels -- at least six times in four of his last five weeks.
While Ertz isn't a big-play threat, he is a steady chain mover for this Washington offense. If the Commanders fall behind, Ertz should have a big game with Daniels likely forced to throw the ball a lot.
