Chargers

The Chargers are expected to have S Derwin James on the field Sunday for the first time this season after the second-year safety was activated off injured reserve. James has been recovering from a broken foot that derailed his sophomore campaign so far, but the team is excited to see how he follows up on what was a terrific rookie season. 

โ€œHeโ€™s the best safety in the league. Like, not even close,โ€ Chargers CB Casey Hayward said via the Athletic’s Daniel Popper. โ€œObviously, weโ€™re not expecting him to go out here and play every snap at the high level he was because this is going to be his first game back, but weโ€™re expecting him to do Derwin things. And any time you got the best safety in the league back, heโ€™s making your team better; heโ€™s making your defense better. Youโ€™re going to see the impact.โ€
