Jerry Tillery News
The Las Vegas Raiders claimed former first-round defensive tackle Jerry Tillery off waivers from the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday. Besides the Raiders, the Lions, Panthers, Colts, 49ers, Jets, Giants and Chiefs all put in waiver claims for Tillery. The 26-year-old will now head to the Chargers' division rivals after posting 106 tackles (57 solo), 12 tackles for loss, 33 QB hits, 10.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in his four seasons with the Bolts. He had his best season last year, but Tillery has struggled in seven games in 2022 and is also dealing with a back injury. In his seven games this year, Tillery has just eight tackles (five solo), one sack and a forced fumble. Tiller will work to get healthy before providing depth on the Raiders' D-line the rest of the season.
The Los Angeles Chargers waived former first-round defensive tackle Jerry Tillery on Thursday. Tillery also missed the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons due to a back injury, and the Bolts have decided to move on in his fourth NFL season. In seven games this year, he has just eight tackles (five solo), one sack and a forced fumble. Tillery is coming off his best season in 2021, when he had 51 tackles (24 solo), six tackles for loss, 14 QB hits and 4.5 sacks in 16 games. The 26-year-old pass-rusher from Notre Dame will look to find his way with a new team after recording just 10.5 sacks in 54 career games (29 starts) to this point in his career.
The Los Angeles Chargers selected Notre Dame defensive tackle Jerry Tillery with the No. 28 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. Tillery has a high football IQ and is extremely athletic. The Chargers needed help on both lines, so Tillery fills a big need. There is evidence that he can be a dominant football player, but he'll need to be coached up at the next level. He has versatility and can play in either a 3-4 or 4-3 defensive scheme. The Bolts need Tillery's big body to clog up lanes and rush the passer.
