Days after safety was waived in Las Vegas, the have followed suit, announcing Thursday they are releasing defensive lineman .

Now, he's out of Los Angeles entirely."Jerry has been a valued member of our organization since arriving in 2019," Chargers general manager Tom Telesco said in a team statement, "and I want to thank him for all his contributions to the Chargers. This was not an easy decision, but after careful consideration, it was a nece sary one that is in the best interest Matthew Spencer Kids Jersey  of both team and player. We wish Jerry all the best moving forward in his career."Telesco's remarks suggest Tillery's departure was a mutual decision, and that the veteran's Wednesday absence had something to do with his split.

But he struggled against the run, with L.A Jonne Tammela Kids Jersey . po se sing one of the NFL's worst rush defenses prior to this year.
