James doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

James was sidelined for Week 17 due to a concussion he suffered in Week 16, but he's been a full participant Wednesday through Friday and will be good to go for Week 18. Across 13 appearances, the fourth-year safety has totaled 109 tackles, four sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles.

James (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

James suffered a concussion during Week 16's win over Indianapolis, and the Chargers haven't yet announced whether he's cleared the league's five-step protocol. The 26-year-old's chances of suiting up for Sunday's road matchup against the Broncos will depend on his gaining full clearance.

James (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

James sustained a concussion during the Week 16 win over Indianapolis on Monday Night Football, leaving him sidelined during practice Wednesday. The 26-year-old then logged consecutive limited sessions Thursday and Friday, though it appears he'll need some additional time to clear protocols. In his stead, expect Alohi Gilman to step back into a starting role at strong safety, as he previously played every defensive snap when James was sidelined with a quadriceps injury for back-to-back games ahead of Week 16. James has been the Chargers' best defensive player when healthy this season, so it will be worth monitoring his status heading into the regular-season finale versus Denver on Sunday, Jan. 8.

James (concussion) logged a limited practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

James logged a DNP on Wednesday, as he is still recovering from the concussion suffered in Monday's win over the Colts. Even though he was able to take the field Thursday, it does not necessarily mean that the five-year pro has cleared the leagues concussion protocols. However, it does appear he is trending in the right direction, and the 26-year-old still has three more days to gain clearance to play Sunday against the Rams.

James (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.

EDGE Analysis

James, who sustained a concussion on the same play where he was tossed for lowering his helmet on a second-quarter tackle Monday night, has since opened Week 17 prep as a a non-participant on Wednesday's estimate. He still has until the weekend to clear all necessary concussion protocols, but Alohi Gilman would be James' likely replacement should the Pro Bowl safety miss time.

James is in concussion protocol following Monday's 20-3 win over the Colts, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Pro Bowl safety recorded an excellent interception in the first quarter, but a questionable tackle in the second quarter saw James come up woozy. The play in question drew a targeting penalty and an immediate ejection. James had previously missed the past two games with a quadriceps injury.

James (quadriceps) doesn't carry an injury designation for Monday night's game against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

James was listed as a full practice participant Friday and Saturday and is thus slated to return to action Monday after having missed the Chargers' last two contests. In 12 games to date, the starting safety has recorded a fantasy-friendly total of 106 tackles to go along with a pick and two forced fumbles.

James (quad) said Friday that he'll play Monday against the Colts, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

James has missed back-to-back games due to a quadriceps injury, but he logged a full practice Friday and appears confident he'll return to action in Week 16. Across 12 appearances, the fifth-year safety has totaled 106 tackles, four sacks, four pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one interception.

James (quadriceps) was a limited participant during the Chargers' practice Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

James has missed the Bolts' last two games while dealing with a quad injury, though he managed to return to practice in a limited fashion for the first time Thursday. The 26-year-old will now have two more practices to increase his activity before Monday's game against the Colts. James has played a starring role across all levels of the Chargers' defense over 12 games this season, so his availability could be a significant factor as the team faces Indianapolis' sputtering offense.

Coach Brandon Staley said Monday that James (quadriceps) could return to practice this week ahead of Monday's game at Indianapolis, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the Chargers' last two games with a quadriceps injury he sustained in Week 13 at Las Vegas, it seems James might have a chance to come back for Week 16. He's arguably the team's best defensive player, so they'd like to have him back as quickly as possible as they jockey for a playoff spot.
