James worked out for the 49ers, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
James seems to have recovered from the meniscus tear he suffered in 2017. He has not played a snap in the NFL since that time.

James (knee) was waived by the Raiders on Friday due to a failed physical, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
James ended the 2017 season on injured reserve due to a torn meniscus and it appears he isn't back to 100 percent quite yet, resulting in his failed physical. If he clears waivers he'll be a free agent, free to sign with any team for the 2018 season once he's back to health.

James (knee) was placed on injured reserve by the Raiders on Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
James missed the last two games with the knee ailment and apparently wasn't making the necessary progress in his recovery. Nicholas Morrow is likely to continue to see the bulk of the snaps at weak-side linebacker in James' absence.

James (knee) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
The Raiders have only let up 400 yards of total offense three times this season, and two of those times James was inactive. The second-year pro is a stud when he's on the field, accruing 56 tackles (42 solo) through 10 games, and he left early in three of those contests. Nicholas Morrow is likely to take over at weak-side linebacker.

James (knee) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
James, who missed last week's win over the Giants, was unable to practice at all throughout the week due to his knee injury. Nicholas Morrow would likely be in line to start in James' place at outside linebacker in Week 14 after logging a season-high nine tackles against the Giants during James' absence.

James (knee) is listed an inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
James was never more than a limited participant in practice this week and will sit out for the first time since Week 7. Nicholas Morrow is a likely replacement at weak-side linebacker for the Raiders on Sunday.

The Raiders have listed James (knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
James was unable to practice Wednesday, but was able to put in limited work the rest of the week. His status Sunday will likely be determined by how he is feeling after going through pregame warmups. Nicholas Morrow would presumably be in line to fill in at weakside linebacker should the 24-year-old ultimately sit out.

James (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year pro has been nursing this injury since Oct. 11, but it has only kept him out of one game. James has 45 tackles (33 solo) and a forced fumble through eight games this season, yet his inconsistencies -- he has four game with four or less tackles -- make him difficult to deploy in most fantasy formats.

James (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old has been dealing with the injury since Week 5 and missed most of the next two games as a result. He was able to return for Week 8 against the Bills and turned in limited practices on Thursday and Friday this week. He should be good to go in this one.

James (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
James was only able to practice on a limited basis Thursday and Friday due to the knee issue. He was dealing with the same injury heading into the Week 8 loss to the Bills, but still managed to suit up, logging eight tackles across 49 defensive snaps.
