Not only did he crack a rod, but he also lacerated his kidney.

Best quote in the article:

"A lacerated kidney is obviously a major injury, as organ damage would be a concern. That said, Ertz hasn’t been ruled out for next week if the Eagles make the playoffs, according to Rapoport."

And the 9-7 Eagles did make the playoffs.  Yikes.  Ertz will play playoff football one week after a kidney laceration?

Hopefully not! However, if the doctors clear him to play, you can be sure that he will. We should all hope the doctors don't clear him. It would be questionable for him to play under any circumstances, but with all the other injuries the Eagles have, he would for sure be a major focus of the offense if he is on the field. That means lots of hits.

How many weeks was Andrew Luck out when he lacerated his kidney?

He lacerated his kidney on November 8, the Colts' ninth game of the season. The headlines said he would be out 2-6 weeks. He didn't return for that season.
