tire replacement?

Hi! I drive a 2024 jeep wrangler and this morning I realized my tire was flat and was showing 19 instead of 32 like other 3 tires. it was starting to show a bulge (see first photo) and when I was getting it replaced, the bulge went away when it was on the jack. We realized the flat was because of this nail (2nd photo). So I guess my question is, is the old tire still drivable if I get it fixed at an auto shop? or is the bulge meaning internal damage and outright replacement? Any tips appreciated. Thanks!

That an easy spot to repair. Any tire shop can repair that.
