The Chargers released Jefferson on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jefferson signed with the Chargers in June and finished the preseason strong with two interceptions against the Cowboys this past Saturday, but it wasn't enough for him to survive the roster cuts. He's expected to stick around with the organization and re-sign with the Chargers as a member of the practice squad.
