COSTA MESA, Calif. -- The wait is over for Derwin James.
After starting the season on the injured reserve due to a stress fracture in his right foot that required surgery, the Los Angeles Chargers All-Pro safety returned to the field on Monday, his team's first practice since returning from bye week.
Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said his team officially designated James to return from injured reserve, starting the three-week window to add the Florida State product to the active roster.
Undrafted rookie Roderic Teamer started the first six games of the year in place of James.
