Ex-Charger Tillery Ejected for Late Hit on Herbert After Joining Division Rival Raiders
- Former Chargers defensive lineman Jerry Tillery was ejected for a late hit on quarterback Justin Herbert after joining the Raiders midseason.
- Tillery's late hit came after Herbert had already gone out of bounds, causing Herbert to go airborne and prompting retaliation from Chargers players.
- Tillery was drafted in the first round by the Chargers in 2019 but was waived earlier this season before being signed by the Raiders.
- The penalty gave the Chargers 15 yards during their 24-17 win over the Raiders, who had self-inflicted mistakes including turnovers.
- Despite some injuries, Herbert led the Chargers to victory and Khalil Mack recorded a franchise-record six sacks in response to the hit on the QB.
