Safety Placed on Injured Reserve
The Los Angeles Chargers officially placed safety Derwin James Jr. on injured reserve on Saturday. The Pro Bowl safety has been dealing with a hamstring injury that has kept him off the field.
James has not played for the team since a loss at Buffalo back on Sept. 27. The decision was not unexpected after head coach Jim Harbaugh mentioned earlier this week that James suffered a setback in his rehab and recovery. James will now be forced to sit out a minimum of four games for the Chargers.
Chargers Face Growing Injury List
The absence of James is another major blow for the Chargers, who currently sit at 0-6 on the season. They are scheduled to face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday without a number of key players on the roster.
In addition to losing James, left guard Kayode Awosika will miss a fifth straight game because of a leg injury. Defensive back Deane Leonard has been ruled out with a concussion. Wide receiver Brenen Thompson was also ruled out with a quad and hamstring issue.
Secondary Roster Moves Completed
To address their missing players, the Chargers signed cornerback Isas Waxter to the active roster and promoted cornerback Kaiir Elam from the practice squad.
Waxter spent last season on the Chargers practice squad after initially signing as an undrafted free agent with Seattle. He has appeared in a pair of games this season as a standard elevation. Elam brings experience to the defense, having started 19 of his 43 career regular season games with Buffalo, Dallas, and Tennessee.
