Chargers' Derwin James Suspended for Helmet Hit, Harbaugh Disagrees

Coach Jim Harbaugh defends safety Derwin James after NFL suspension for repeated violations of player safety rules.

Derwin James was suspended for one game without pay following a helmet-to-helmet hit on Steelers' Pat Freiermuth.
Jim Harbaugh expressed disappointment, arguing that Freiermuth's stiff-arm altered James' tackle angle.
James has a history of unnecessary roughness penalties, accumulating five in the last 18 games.
The NFL cited James' repeated violations of safety rules as the reason for the suspension.
Despite appealing the decision, the suspension was upheld, affecting the Chargers' upcoming game against the Chiefs.
