LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James Jr. will miss Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs after the NFL upheld his one-game suspension for "repeated violations of playing rules."
The NFL announced the suspension Monday after James was flagged for unnecessary roughness for a hit to Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth in the third quarter of Los Angeles' 20-10 loss Sunday.
This was the 7th time in James career that he was penalized for unnecessary roughness. The Chargers need him on defense especially when Justin Herbert has a sore ankle.
