Tillery (personal) is active for Sunday's contest against the Raiders, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tillery dealt with a personal matter Friday and missed the team's final practice of the week, but he'll now be good to go for Week 18. The 29-year-old will operate in his typical role as a top reserve option behind Chris Jones and Derrick Nnadi at defensive tackle versus Las Vegas.

2019
Tillery tallied 31 combined tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and also recovered a fumble last season for the Raiders. He then signed a one-year contract worth up to $3.75 million with the Vikings. He should bolster the team's depth at nose tackle for the upcoming season.
Claimed off waivers by the Raiders in November of 2022, Tillery provided the team with 10 tackles (eight solo) throughout Las Vegas' final eight contests, playing 248 defensive snaps and another 42 snaps on special teams. Tillery re-signed with the Raiders this offseason, and he'll compete for a starting role at defensive tackle.
Tillery hasn't lived up to the billing after the Chargers selected the defensive end in the first round of the 2019 Draft, but he's started all but two games since entering the league and has improved from a statistical perspective each season. Expect the 25-year-old to work in rotation along a defensive front seven that saw a number of new additions to the mix this offseason.
The switch to Brandon Staley's 3-4 scheme could prove critical for the 2019 first-round pick. Tillery's versatility allowed him to ping-pong between nose tackle and defensive end throughout 2020, but the additional playing time didn't translate into more sacks. With long-time veteran Melvin Ingram now gone, Tillery is expected to fill the pass-rushing void alongside emerging outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu.
A torn labrum in Tillery's shoulder isn't expected to keep the 28th overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft off the field for long. Out of the gate, Tillery is expected to serve as an interior pass rusher for the Chargers, likely splitting time with Justin Jones, Brandon Mebane and Isaac Rochell. Down the road, however, it's possible the 22-year-old could be used more as an edge rusher if Melvin Ingram becomes a cap causality in 2020.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Roster spot not certain
DTLos Angeles Chargers
July 27, 2022
Tillery could be a candidate to get cut before the start of the season, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Chargers already declined Tillery's fifth-year option earlier this offseason, but it would still be a surprise to see the team give up on the 2019 first-round pick so soon. Popper notes the addition of Morgan Fox, an interior pass-rushing specialist, during the later stages of free agency makes Tillery's role redundant unless he's able to improve as a run defender. At the very least, the pressure is on the 25-year-old Tillery to finally realize his vast potential.
