Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (ankle) is officially active for Week 7 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. He had been listed as questionable but will ultimately suit up despite missing practice on Friday. The star safety's presence will give the Chargers a huge boost as they look to slow down Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and company.
Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (ankle) is expected to be a true game-time decision ahead of Week 7 versus the Kansas City Chiefs, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. James missed practiced Friday, was listed as questionable, and will undergo a pregame workout to determine whether he can play Sunday. His presence would be huge for the Chargers as they take on Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs.
Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. He injured himself in Week 3 versus Minnesota and had been listed as doubtful heading into this weekend's west-coast clash. With James sidelined, Raheem Layne should start at safety against a Raiders squad led by rookie Aidan O'Connell.
Los Angeles Chargers star free safety Derwin James (hamstring) was unable to practice all week and is doubtful to suit up this Sunday for a Week 4 matchup against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. The Bolts defense could be quite short-handed this weekend, with star pass-rusher Joey Bosa (hamstring, toe) and safety Alohi Gilman (heel) questionable and cornerback Deane Leonard (hamstring) and safety JT Woods already ruled out. Despite the injuries, the Chargers defense could catch a break if Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo doesn't clear the NFL's concussion protocol. At best, the Chargers D is a streaming option in fantasy leagues, but if Jimmy G is ruled out, they'll become much more attractive.
Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James Jr. (hamstring) was injured on Sunday during the narrow win over the Vikings. He tweaked his hamstring, sitting out the fourth quarter as a result. While the 27-year-old downplayed the injury, he'll undergo an MRI on Monday. James, who entered Week 3 with a team-high 17 total tackles, should be considered day-to-day ahead of the Week 4 matchup with Vegas.
Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams. James suffered a concussion in the Monday night win over the Indianapolis Colts on the same play in which he was ejected for a hit on receiver Ashton Dulin. The 26-year-old safety won't be suspended for the play, but he could miss the final two regular season games as the Bolts look to get their squad healthy for the postseason. It's a significant development for fantasy managers in IDP leagues that are playing for a championship this week, as James has been the No. 5 fantasy safety in 2022 based on overall points. The good news for the Chargers is they appear to be getting pass-rusher Joey Bosa (groin) back for the first time since Week 3. Alohi Gilman should start in James' play on Sunday.
Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (head) won't be suspended for the hit on Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin that led to James being ejected in the victory on Monday night, according to a source. James could be fined for his actions. It's good news for James and his fantasy managers in IDP leagues, but the 26-year-old is also in the league's concussion protocol due to a head injury that he suffered on the same play that got him ejected from the game. Before leaving on Monday, the Pro Bowler had an interception. He was returning from a two-game absence due to a quadriceps injury, and now his availability for the Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams is in question. After clinching a postseason berth on Monday, the Bolts could play it safe and hold James out this week.
Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James was ejected from his team's Monday night game against the Indianapolis Colts. James was ejected for an illegal hit to the head/neck area of a defenseless Ashton Dulin in the second quarter on a tackle attempt in which he appeared to lead with the crown of his helmet. James also may have injured himself on the play as he was in the medical tent getting checked for a concussion when the ejection was announced. Following the tackle, Dulin immediately headed back into the locker room to get checked out. James had an interception and three total tackles before the ejection.
Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (quad) has been sidelined since Week 13 but says he will return to action against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night. James, who was announced as a Pro Bowl selection earlier this week, was listed as limited in the Chargers' practice on Thursday and was upgraded to full participation on Friday. Of course, the team will make an official call on James' availability this weekend, but the 26-year-old appears on track to suit up and should make an immediate impact as a leader for Los Angeles' secondary.
Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (quadriceps) is officially inactive for Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans. This comes as no surprise considering he had been listed as doubtful. The 26-year-old has logged an impressive 106 tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles, and one interception through 10 games in 2022. The Chargers hope James' absence will last just two games and he can return for Monday Night Football in Week 16.
