COSTA MESA, Calif. -- It’s usually bad news when one of your best players is out for an extended period of time with a significant injury.
That's certainly the case for the Los Angeles Chargers, with All-Pro safety Derwin James starting the regular season on injured reserve after having surgery to repair a stress fracture in his right foot.
However, when James returns to the field, he should be the same explosive playmaker that fell to the Chargers in the first round of the 2018 draft.
Defensive end Joey Bosa has been there.
