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.
Ravens linebacker Trenton Simpson, Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and Broncos guard Ben Powers drew the largest fines, and five players were docked for hip-drop tackles.
