• Chargers' Derwin James: Excellent after two-year absence

  01/15/2022 •

  James finished the 2021 season with 118 tackles (75 solo), five passes defended, three fumbles forced, two sacks and two interceptions across 15 games. It took essentially two years, but the dynamic safety was finally able to make his presence felt in an emerging Chargers secondary after multiple injuries limited James to just five games played since the end of the 2018 season. The 25-year-old hardly lost a beat in his return as James finished second on the team in tackles and tied for first in interceptions. The star safety enters the offseason on the final year of his rookie contract and figures to receive a lucrative extension in the near future.

• Chargers' Derwin James: Good to go Sunday

  12/31/2021 •

  James (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports. James was active for last week's loss to Houston but didn't see the field, and he was able to get clear of the injury report for Week 17. The 25-year-old has 103 tackles (67 solo), two sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles in 13 games this season.

• Chargers' Derwin James: Possibly available Week 17

  Coach Brandon Staley said Wednesday he's "hopeful" James (hamstring) can play against Denver on Sunday, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports. James was active for Sunday's contest against the Texans, but as expected, he didn't see the field after not going through pregame warmups. James has now missed two of the last three games due to the injury and only played 26 defensive snaps during the only contest he did play in during that stretch. His practice status throughout the week will probably provide a better indication as to whether or not the star safety will play in Week 17.

  James (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans. James avoided aggravating his hamstring injury last week against the Chiefs and may be able to play Sunday versus the Texans. The 25-year-old could end up a game-time decision given he sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday.

• Chargers' Derwin James: Limited Tuesday

  12/15/2021 •

  James (hamstring) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough practice. James is coming off a one-game absence in which he was a late add to the injury report. He was a non-participant at Monday's walk-through, so he does appear to be trending in the right direction. Trey Marshall would likely draw another start if James is ultimately unable to return.
