His season got off to a bad start when the NFL handed him a four-game suspension for a PED violation. The defensive tackle made his way back to the field in Week Five, but he didn\u2019t stay there very long. After six games, the 28-year old tore his quad against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/broncos\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Denver Broncos<\/a>. This injury cost Liuget the remainder of his season, and the defensive tackle finished 2018 with 1.5 sacks, 14 tackles, and five quarterback hits. Los Angeles had a team option for 2019 but opted not to pick it up.<\/p>\n<p>Corey Liuget initially entered the NFL as the San Diego Chargers\u2019 first-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. Despite having essentially no off-season thanks to the NFL lockout, Liuget still managed to play in 15 games as a rookie, starting 13. During that sample, Liuget recorded one sack, 19 tackles, and three tackles-for-loss. Liuget built on his promising rookie season to establish himself as one of the better players on the Chargers\u2019 defense. In 2012, the second-year defensive lineman recorded seven sacks, 51 tackles, 11 tackles-for-loss, and 10 quarterback hits. Additionally, Liuget managed to deflect an impressive nine passes at the line of scrimmage.<\/p>\n<p>2012 was probably his best season, but Liuget has been a consistent player throughout the grand majority of his professional career. Through eight seasons, Liuget has accumulated 24 sacks, 275 tackles, 59 tackles-for-loss, and 53 quarterback hits. Despite his overall\u00a0production, the defensive lineman has never made it to a Pro Bowl or All-Pro team.<\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"TE8D_ekPTj17lUpUKQsYqg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/623053172\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'TE8D_ekPTj17lUpUKQsYqg',sig:'7HJ4e6R7e7moC9YkXG83bNAX-Txd0oGi5vOxf6HfCzY=',w:'594px',h:'418px',items:'623053172',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Los Angeles Charger defensive tackle Corey Liuget is expected to suit up with the Oakland Raiders for the 2019 NFL season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":59566,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,17],"tags":[4850,61,1501,40,157],"class_list":["post-59565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-raiders","tag-corey-liuget","tag-football","tag-los-angeles-chargers","tag-nfl","tag-oakland-raiders"],"modified_by":"Al Preziosi","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59565\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
