Eagles resign defensive tackle Tim Jernigan

The Philadelphia Eagles have resigned defensive tackle Tim Jernigan to a one-year contract, the team announced Thursday.

Offseason back surgery limited the 26-year-old to just three games in 2018. But Jernigan appeared in both the Eagles playoff games last season.

Jernigan was an integral piece of the Bird's Super Bowl winning defense in 2017. The Florida State product logged 15 games and 34 tackles and 2.5 sacks during his first season in Philadelphia.
