repairing a previous surgery

sounds like this will plague him for years to come.

Chargers are downplaying the fact that the injury occurred during a jackboyz celebration ... reminds of the Gramatica injury where a celebration caused him a severe injury ...

Bosa said it happened during the celebration when someone stepped on his foot ... but the Chargers backtracked that saying it was an on-going stress injury ...

Jackboyz need to tone it down to avoid this occurring again ...

wrapped in cotton? no way!

That James will miss time is not new news, but the fact that he will be placed on injured reserve gives us a clearer picture of the amount of time he will be sidelined. At this point, we are likely looking at an optimistic (but realistic) timetable of James returning in Week 13 following the bye week.

James is expected to miss three to four months, even though no timetable has been set. He won't be eligible to return until Week 9, which marks a home game against the Packers. The former Florida State product can start practicing after six weeks.

I hope to God it doesn't take til week 13. Because that's too damn long.

Week 9 is Nov 3 that is only 72 days which is like 10 weeks which is like 2 Months\2weeks\2days I think that is way to0 optimistic week 13 Dec 1 is probably more realistic which comes out 3 months\2weeks\2days

Yep. Or kind of like how ex-Padres and Giants pitcher Dave Dravecky got injured in a post-game celebration after winning the NL pennant...after he worked so hard to rehab from the other injury...

Chargers safeties Derwin James and Adrian Phillips are now able to come off the injured reserve, but it doesn’t appear that’ll be this week. Despite them not being ready for the Monday night bout against the Chiefs, the two are getting work in to possibly return after the bye week.

According to the Athletic’s Daniel Popper, James and Phillips were on the field doing some agility and speed work, while the rest of the team held their normal practice at Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO.

James has been running pain-free as he recovers from summer foot surgery. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, he is poised to return to the lineup when the Chargers take on the Broncos in Week 13.

Meanwhile, Phillips has been moving around since fracturing his forearm earlier this season. He recently had a cast on his arm and coach Anthony Lynn said once he got the cast off then the team would see where he’s at.

If Los Angeles is able to take care of business against the Chiefs, James and Phillips’ services will be needed to help them go on a winning streak en route to the playoffs. If they lose, it might make more sense to let them rest the remainder of the season instead of risking another injury.
