Raiders defensive tackle Jerry Tillery has been ejected from Sunday’s game against the Chargers after hitting quarterback Justin Herbert late and out of bounds.
The play occurred with 9:01 left in the second quarter. Herbert evaded defensive end Maxx Crosby in the backfield and scrambled for a 3-yard gain to the Las Vegas 32. But after Herbert had stepped out of bounds, Tillery lowered his shoulder and hit Herbert.
With the foul occurring on the Chargers sideline, a crowd of L.A. players immediately came to Herbert’s defense.
Tillery was assessed the foul and disqualified.
A Chargers first-round pick in 2019, Tillery entered Week 4 with a sack and seven total tackles so far this season.
