Derwin James Suspended vs. Chiefs

By Matt Schauf | Updated on Tue, 24 Sep 2024, 10:51 PM EDT

The NFL has suspended Chargers S Derwin James one game for "repeated violations" of the safety rules. James was most recently flagged for an illegal hit in the loss to the Steelers. His seven such penalties since 2018 tie him for second-most in the NFL, but he has reached that number in fewer games than other "leaders" in the category. James appealed the suspension, but it was upheld. So he'll miss Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Elijah Molden looks likely to fill in.
