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.
San Francisco needed the spot to bring back Ogbo Okoronkwo, ending the four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher's stay after less than two weeks.
The fullback has a hyperextended knee and a bone bruise from Sunday's win over Denver, and Kyle Shanahan will spread his role among the tight ends for the trip to Seattle.
