Jernigan notched 10 tackles (seven solo) and two sacks across 10 regular-season games in 2019. He also notched two solo tackles during the Jan. 5 wild-card loss to Seattle.
The 27-year-old missed six straight games due to a foot injury sustained Week 2, but he played a substantial role once he returned midseason, as the Eagles were missing Malik Jackson (foot) and Hassan Ridgeway (ankle). Jernigan is set to become an unrestricted free agent in March.
