James logged six tackles (five solo) and a forced fumble during the Chargers' 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
James caused a turnover for a second consecutive week, when he knocked the ball out of the hands of a scrambling Joe Milton, which Tuli Tuipulotu jumped on to give the Chargers the ball at midfield. James has logged 16 combined tackles over his last two outings, and the veteran safety is up to 86 tackles (46 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and six pass defenses (two interceptions) across 15 regular-season games. He'll have two more games to reach the tackling century mark for the fifth time in his NFL career beginning this Saturday against the Texans.

James recorded three tackles (three solo) during Monday's 22-19 win versus the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
As has been the case for much of the year, James' contributions were felt more in coverage than on the stat sheet in Week 14, and quarterback Jalen Hurts finished the contest with four interceptions. He figures to spend plenty more time in coverage in a Week 15 matchup at Kansas City.

James recorded three total tackles in Sunday night's 25-10 win over the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
James didn't have to do too much in a game in which the Steelers struggled to put together much of anything on offense, failing to secure a solo tackle for the second time in three games. The 29-year-old has seen his production dip as the season has gone on, averaging 4.3 tackles per game after compiling 34 takedowns over the team's first four contests of the year. James has now registered 60 total tackles (33 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also adding three passes defensed, one of which is an interception, over 10 games this season.

James tallied eight tackles (five solo) during the Chargers' win versus the Titans on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
James was dealing with an ankle injury leading up to the game but had a strong outing nonetheless, as he ended up leading the team in tackles. Across nine games played this season, the 29-year-old has recorded 57 tackles (33 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and an interception. He will look to keep producing and add to his totals in the Week 10 matchup versus the Steelers.

James (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
James sustained a low ankle sprain in Week 8 against the Vikings, but he is trending toward being available against the Titans on Sunday after practicing in full Thursday. The veteran safety will continue to start at safety alongside Elijah Molden, barring a setback.

James (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
James is rehabbing through a low-ankle sprain that he picked up during the Chargers' Week 8 victory over the Vikings. His ability to practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- indicates that the injury isn't a long-term issue, and he'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Titans. James tallied at least seven tackles in five of the seven games prior to his injury in Week 8, and his 49 stops through eight regular-season games is second most on the Chargers behind Daiyan Henley (52).
