Bad news for Jim Harbaugh: one of his key defensive players will be unavailable for the Week 4 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, and it’s not due to an injury.
The primary concern is the absence of safety Derwin James Jr., who has been suspended by the NFL for repeated violations of game rules. Video footage shows James lowering his head to make contact with an opponent during a dangerous hit.
Jim Harbaugh knows that not having Derwin James Jr. on defense will be a challenge against the Chiefs. The player likely to step in for James is AJ Finley, who joined the franchise in 2023 and has played in all three games of the 2024 season.
Following the matchup against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, the Los Angeles Chargers will head into their bye week, returning to action in Week 6 for the first of two games against the Denver Broncos.
Here’s the hit that earned #Chargers S Derwin James a one-game suspension for repeat violations of the NFL’s safety rules.
“The video of the play shows that you lowered your head and made forcible contact. … Your continued disregard for NFL playing rules will not be tolerated.”
