Eagles Tim Jernigan out 4-6 months

jeff57 : 5/3/2018 11:33 am
Eagles’ starting DT Timmy Jernigan underwent surgery on a herniated disc in his back last week and is expected to be out four-to-six months, league sources tell @FieldYates and me.

Guess Ngata will have to start now.

Sucks for him

The Eagles are going to be good...but they are not going to match what they did last season.
That’s a big blow

especially for a man that size. Could effect him for all of 2018 season.

Not cool. Way to put the jinx on the Giants for celebrating the misfortune of others.

Definitely but the more you weigh the worse it is/can be. Add in his profession and it’s not a good mixture. Normal sized people come back from back problem much more easily. One of the best ways to help heal your back is to lose weight.

Yup
And this just reminds me of when

we didn’t PUP JPP in 2013. He had surgery that June and should have had this timetable, IMO. Sounds like they are handling Jernigan much more realistically.

not sure if article said...  
BillKo : 5/3/2018 12:05 pm : link
...but he had signed an extension recently......
If it’s a disc fusion plenty of people  
bhill410 : 5/3/2018 12:18 pm : link
With normal jobs of normal weight do not respond well. Herniated discs can be devestating
It can’t be fusion  
UConn4523 : 5/3/2018 12:21 pm : link
he’d be out for the year. I’m guessing microdisectomy which is pretty routine but still requires patience and rehab to recover from.

I think they are tight on cap space and as is might have to make some moves to sign rookies or rework a contract or 2. Last time I checked.
Eagles got lucky

Hankins would have to be pretty cheap at this point.

This has to be a different type of surgery. I had a micro discetomy done and was bike riding 25-30 miles three months later. I remember Steven jackson had the same surgery I had at around the same time and he was ready by training camp, again, 3 months later.

This must be worse.
Then again  
djm : 5/3/2018 7:48 pm : link
Bike riding in 3 months isn’t exactly the same thing as colliding with a small truck 100 times over a 3 Hr period....

maybe it wasn’t the fusion but more complicated than the typical MD.
Bike riding would be encouraged  
UConn4523 : 5/3/2018 8:00 pm : link
as would jogging even 3 months post surgery. This is a 300 lb man twisting and exploding toward another 300 lb man. The best rehab money can buy won’t make his comeback easier than a normal sized persons.
hate to see
