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.
Mike McCarthy said the second-year defensive lineman will miss at least four games, another loss for a Pittsburgh defense already without cornerback Jamel Dean.
