Chargers' Derwin James: Dealing with groin issue
James (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
The 2018 first-round pick from Florida State recorded 10 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and defended one pass while playing 100 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps in the Week 11 win over the Bengals. However, it now appears he picked up a groin injury in the process. James' practice participation Saturday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can suit up for the Chargers' Week 12 matchup against the Ravens on Monday night.

Chargers' Derwin James: Has suspension lifted
James' suspension was lifted Monday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.
James was suspended for this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs due to multiple violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players stemming from a hit he made on Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth in Week 3. With the Chargers on bye Week 5, James' next chance to build upon his 21 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, this season arrives Sunday, Oct. 13 at Denver.

Chargers' Derwin James: Suspension upheld
James (suspension) had his one-game suspension upheld Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
James will be forced to sit out Sunday's matchup with Kansas City after violating the league's playing rules, leaving Los Angeles a little thin against the back-to-back Super Bowl champions. In his place, AJ Finley and Elijah Molden will likely see an increase in workload in the secondary.

Chargers' Derwin James: Gets one-game suspension
The NFL issued James a one-game suspension Monday for repeated violations of playing rules that are intended to protect the health and safety of players, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. James is expected to appeal the ruling, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
James already had three fines for hits on defenseless players on his resume, one from 2022 and two from last season, according to Jay Morrison of ProFootballNetwork.com. He also was fined for unnecessary roughness as a rookie in 2018. The ban issued Monday stems from James lowering his head and making forcible contact with Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth during Sunday's 20-10 loss at Pittsburgh. If James loses his appeal, he'll miss this coming Sunday's key matchup with the Chiefs, making his next potential game action Sunday, Oct. 13 in Denver following the Chargers' Week 5 bye.
