Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh was disappointed about Derwin James Jr.'s suspension, saying there were “mitigating circumstances” on the hit against the Steelers
It’s more than just the playmaking, the positional versatility and the hard tackles. With star safety Derwin James Jr. suspended for one week, the Chargers are missing a vocal leader whose wide, bejeweled smile sets the tone for a secondary now tasked with stopping the defending Super Bowl champions without him. “Derwin's a big personality,” said safety Alohi Gilman, whose laid-back Hawaiian nature contrasts sharply with James’ fiery passion.
'But you can never really take the head out of the game because it's in between two shoulders.” “He is a shining star in every way,” Harbaugh continued. “As a teammate, captain on this team, two-time Walter Payton Man of the Year , everything that he has done for the Chargers and the entire league, he's a shining star, shining example. … He does not want to hurt anybody, any other player that he plays. He just wants it to be competition, that is always on his mind.
