Timmy Jernigan appears to be out in Houston and the Philadelphia Eagles will likely be out of a compensatory pick.
Adam Schefter via Jernigan’s Instagram account is reporting that the defensive tackle has reversed course on joining the Texans.

The reversal by Jernigan is a hit to the Eagles’ chances of landing a compensatory pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
With Fletcher Cox, Malik Jackson, Javon Hargrave, Hassan Ridgeway, Anthony Rush, Albert Huggins, Bruce Hector, and undrafted rookie free agent Raequan Williams on the Eagles roster, Jernigan will likely have to find employment in another city besides Philadelphia.
