Los Angeles Chargers All-Pro safety Derwin James will undergo surgery on the stress fracture of his right foot next week with Dr. Robert Anderson, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The news of James' surgery was first reported by the the NFL Network.
James is expected to be sidelined three to four months, sources told Schefter, which means he could be back for a playoff push or the postseason.
James suffered a stress fracture of the fifth metatarsal of his right foot at practice on Thursday. He was seen with a walking boot on his right foot at his team's second joint practice with the New Orleans Saints on Friday.
