The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Ertz was evaluated for a concussion after Friday morning's practice but has been cleared.

Diehards Line: While neither Ertz nor Jordan Matthews (knee) were badly hurt in Friday's full-contact practice, Ertz made it clear everybody needs to think about their approach to those sessions. "I think it needs to be addressed, but it is what it is," Ertz said. "It's live football, so that situation is in the game. We got to get ready for it. Obviously, Jordan and I getting hurt today, you don't want to see that." Younger players often enter their first camp with an added intensity, feeling the need to both prove themselves and fight hard enough to make it through camp. Sometimes this spills over into making a tackle when wrapping up -- but not bringing down -- is all that's necessary. HC Doug Pederson, a former quarterback, is well aware that football is not for the mild. But he wants his players to practice a bit of caution. "We're in a live situation, too, so I understand the competitiveness of the drill," Pederson said. "But I've tried to get the message across, too, sometimes. Just protect each other." Especially star veteran skill players.
