Report: Eagles' Tim Jernigan Underwent Surgery for Herniated Disc Injury
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Tim Jernigan reportedly underwent offseason surgery to repair a herniated disc, according to 94 WIP's Howard Eskin.
Jernigan, 25, will not participate in the Eagles' offseason program but is expected to make a "full recovery."
The Eagles acquired Jernigan from the Baltimore Ravens last April, and his arrival further bolstered one of the league's nastiest defensive fronts.
Paired with three-time Pro Bowler defensive tackle Fletcher Cox along the interior of the Eagles defensive line, Jernigan registered 29 tackles and 2.5 sacks as he helped the reigning Super Bowl champions finish the season with the league's top run defense.
