Eagles TE Zach Ertz (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lions.  He at least put in a limited practice on Wednesday, giving him a good shot to return for Week 13.  His absence tomorrow means a full slate of snaps for TE Brent Celek, who has posted lines of 4-134 and 7-79 over the past 2 weeks.  He's a solid Week 12 spot start.
