The Los Angeles Chargers have waived Jerry Tillery, a first round pick in the 2019 draft.

The Chargers had listed Tillery as a non-participant due to personal reasons the past two days of practice.

"This was not an easy decision but, after careful consideration, it was a necessary one that is in the best interest of both team and player," general manager Tom Telesco said in a statement released by the team. "We wish Jerry all the best moving forward in his career."

Tillery is expected to be claimed.
