Eagles' Timmy Jernigan: Expected to play against Dallas

Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that he expects Jernigan (back) to be available Sunday against the Cowboys, Zach Berman of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The defensive tackle missed Monday's game after suffering back spasms during warmups. Pederson displayed optimism about his status in Week 14, though his availability in practice will shed more light on how he's doing.
