Philadelphia would rather hold the roster spot than move the right tackle to the retired list, while several million dollars of his bonus are still being sorted out.
The edge rusher was the only Philadelphia starter left in doubt after Friday, and he will not play at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Jacksonville's inactive list includes safety Eric Murray and offensive lineman Daniel Faalele.
Ertz is seven catches from tying the franchise mark, and Sunday's call-up against Jacksonville is his third of the season. Tackle John Ojukwu also joins the game-day roster.
