Source: Chargers' Derwin James Jr. avoids suspension for hit on Colts' Ashton Dulin

Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James Jr. will not be suspended for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Colts receiver Ashton Dulin that resulted in his ejection from Monday night's game in Indianapolis, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Friday.

As part of its internal review of plays, the NFL agreed with the personal foul call on James for unnecessary roughness due to forcible contact with the helmet, the source said. The league considered a suspension but ultimately opted against it.

James, 26, could still be subject to a fine.
