The Philadelphia Eagles have been plagued by injuries all season long. Concussions, torn ACL’s, broken bones. You name it. Somehow, someway the Eagles are still one of the last ones standing as they represent the NFC in Super Bowl LII. As the 53-man roster is pretty much healthy injury-wise, some random sicknesses have come in to affect some of the Eagles defense.
On Wednesday afternoon, Eagles defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan was the only player absent. The veteran defensive lineman was apparently too sick to attend the first Eagles practice before the Super Bowl on Sunday.
