COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Derwin James won't have to wait until the start of training camp to begin practicing with the Los Angeles Chargers.
The talented but often injured safety is taking part in on-field workouts as new coach Brandon Staley and his staff begin installing their defense.
James — who was cleared to return last Friday — was an All-Pro selection was a rookie in 2018, but has played in only five games the past two seasons. He missed the first 11 games in 2019 because of a stress fracture in his right foot and all of last season because of a torn meniscus in his right knee.
