Over the last year or so, Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan has been one of the biggest mysteries. During last year’s offseason, the veteran tackle got injured while he wasn’t on company time. How he actually got injured? We will never know. Apparently, Jernigan was working out and hurt his back, which forced him almost to miss the entire 2018 season.
The timing for Jernigan’s injury couldn’t have been any worse. The young defensive tackle had just signed a major extension that was keeping him in midnight green for years to come – but his unfortunate injury he suffered somewhere other than the Nova Care Complex left the team with a tough decision.
