Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is out 3-4 weeks with an ankle injury and running back Miles Sanders will miss Thursday night’s game with a knee injury, ESPN reported Monday.

Both were injured during Sunday’s 30-28 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Philadelphia.

The Eagles (1-4-1) will play host to the New York Giants (1-5) on Thursday night.

Sanders rushed for 118 yards on just nine carries Sunday, including a 74-yard run. Ertz caught four passes (on 10 targets) for 33 yards.

A three-time Pro Bowl selection, the 29-year-old Ertz has 24 catches for 178 yards and one touchdown in six games this season.

A second-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the 23-year-old Sanders has rushed for 434 yards and three scores in five games. He also has 12 catches for 91 yards.
