Daiyan Henley was a third-round pick by the Chargers in 2023 following NCAA stints at Nevada and Washington State.

His father was arrested on RICO charges earlier this year.

Eugene was also arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and murder in 2023, with prosecutors accusing him of killing his son’s best friend and former teammate, Rayshawn Williams, over a diss track, something for which he remains on trial.

This latest incident comes less than 48 hours before the Chargers play the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
