The past year has been a strange one for Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle, Timmy Jernigan. His mysterious injury, which he suffered at the beginning of the offseason led the Eagles to believe he was worth releasing. With a large cap hit looming over their heads, the Eagles felt it could’ve been beneficial to cut Jernigan since the injury occurred off company time. However, that didn’t end up being the case. Well, not in 2018 at least.
Jernigan would remain on the Eagles’ roster for the 2018 season, but he couldn’t avoid landing on the Injured Reserve.
