The Chargers made a surprise move on Thursday night when they announced the waiving of 2019 first-round pick Jerry Tillery. Tillery had missed both Wednesday's and Thursday's practice due to personal reasons after being held out of the Falcons game with a back injury.
The move comes after Tillery had lost his starting job in the offseason following the signings of Sebastian Joseph-Day and Austin Johnson, both of whom were brought in to start immediately.
In seven games this season coming off the bench, Tillery had eight total tackles, one sack, and a forced fumble.
