Tillery was there 28th payer selected int he 2019 NFL draft out of Notre Dame. He recorded 106 tackles and 10.5 sacks in 54 games with the Chargers, who declined his fifth-year option this past spring.
The Giants currently have four interior defensive lineman on their active roster: Leonard Williams, Justin Ellis, Dexter Lawrence and Henry Mondeaux, who was signed from the practice squad on Monday.
The team’s lack of depth at the position stems from losing Nick Williams for the season due to a biceps injury suffered on October 30 in a game against the Seattle Seahawks.
