The Los Angeles Chargers have ruled out safety Derwin James for their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams after a hamstring setback delayed his return to the lineup.
James, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, had been working toward a comeback but suffered the setback during practice this week. The injury clouds his availability for future games as the Chargers prepare for their divisional matchup against the Rams.
The Chargers' defense will be without one of its key playmakers for the contest, with James having recorded 61 tackles and two interceptions in seven games this season before the injury.
