Chargers' Derwin James Suspended for Repeated Safety Violations

The NFL has issued a one-game suspension for safety Derwin James Jr. after multiple unnecessary roughness penalties, including a recent hit on Steelers' Pat Freiermuth.

Derwin James Jr. of the Los Angeles Chargers has been suspended for one game without pay by the NFL for repeated safety rule violations.
The suspension follows a helmet-to-helmet hit on Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth, resulting in a 15-yard penalty during Sunday's game.
James has accumulated five unnecessary roughness penalties in his last 18 games, the most among defensive players in the league.
NFL Vice President Jon Runyan cited James' continued disregard for safety rules and the significant risk of injury posed by his actions.
James' absence is a significant blow to the Chargers, who are already dealing with injuries to key players, as they prepare to face the Kansas City Chiefs.
