“Broken But Never Beaten,” Ertz wrote, including an image of himself in his No. 86 uniform with a prayer.
His wife, Julie Ertz — an American retired soccer star and two-time Women’s World Cup Champion — reshared his message to her Instagram Story.
Ertz was injured when he tried to reel in a pass from Marcus Mariota, Washington’s backup quarterback, and took a hit from Minnesota defensive back Jay Ward in the third quarter.
The 35-year-old, who’s in his 13th NFL season, was visibly emotional while being carted off with his leg in a brace.
