Chargers safety Derwin James underwent successful surgery on Thursday to repair a stress fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports. The surgery was performed in Green Bay by Dr. Robert Anderson, who also treated James' teammate Joey Bosa last year when he suffered a bruised left foot that caused him to miss the first nine games of the regular season.
James will be placed on injured reserve beginning Week 1 when Los Angeles hosts the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 8, per Rapoport. Kickoff is set for 4:05 p.m. ET.
