James (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

James practiced fully to start the week before seemingly picking up an ankle injury and practicing in limited fashion Thursday. He closed out the week as a non-participant before getting a questionable tag. With Alohi Gilman (heel) already sidelined, the Chargers could be spread thin at safety if James does not get the green light. More clarity on his status will come Sunday morning.

James (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

James recently overcame a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 3 at Minnesota to play Monday versus Dallas, but it's now an ankle issue that's putting his availability for Week 7 in jeopardy. If he can't practice in full Friday, he'll likely carry an injury designation into the weekend.

James (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

It's a positive sign that the three-time All-Pro may return for the Chargers' Week 5 matchup with the Cowboys Monday night. James missed the team's Week 4 win over the Raiders. The sixth-year pro has 24 tackles and two passes defensed in three starts this season.

James (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, James won't be available after being deemed doubtful for the contest. JT Woods (undisclosed) and Alohi Gilman (heel) are also out, so Raheem Layne, Dean Marlowe and AJ Finley are candidates for increased roles in the Chargers' secondary.

James (hamstring) has drawn a doubtful designation ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

James' backup, JT Woods (undisclosed), has already been ruled out, and Alohi Gilman (heel) is considered questionable, so the Bolts are looking thin in the secondary. Raheem Layne is currently their only healthy safety. James will need to have a quick recovery if he hopes to suit up Sunday.

James (hamstring) did not participate at the Chargers' practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

James suffered a hamstring injury in Week 3 versus the Vikings and he has now remained sidelined to open the week. The safety will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Sunday's divisional matchup with the Raiders.

James suffered a hamstring injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

The safety made five tackles before leaving the contest. James led the team with 11 tackles in Week 2 and recorded six tackles and two passes defended in Week 1. Raheem Layne and Dean Marlowe are his backups on the depth chart.

James logged 11 tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

James led the team in both solo and total tackles but failed to record any other stats. The 27-year-old played all 65 of the team's defensive snaps, a feat that he accomplished Week 1 as well. James has now logged 17 tackles (13 solo) through the team's first two contests.

James recorded six tackles and two passes defensed in Sunday's 36-34 loss versus Miami.

EDGE Analysis

The three-time Pro Bowler was a rare bright spot on what was an otherwise abysmal day for Coach Brandon Staley and the Chargers' defense, who were butchered by Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill in Week 1. He's on pace for the fourth 100-tackle season of his career, and his unit should have an easier assignment as a whole when they travel to Tennessee for Week 2.

James finished the 2022-23 season with 115 tackles (64 solo), four sacks, five tackles for loss, two interceptions and two forced fumbles.

EDGE Analysis

James had another phenomenal season as he led the Chargers in forced fumbles and recorded the second most tackles. The Pro Bowl safety also had the most sacks of his career, and was not hampered by injuries like he was earlier in his career. Assuming he stays healthy, James should be expected to produce at a high level once again next year.
