Safety Derwin James Jr. rejoins the Los Angeles Chargers after a one-game suspension for player safety violations. He expresses pride in his teammates' performance during his absence and emphasizes his commitment to playing clean football.
Derwin James Jr. didn’t necessarily like the view, but he liked what he saw. The safety who was suspended for the Chargers’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs watched on his television as his defensive teammates forced two takeaways against the two-time defending Super Bowl champions. The way teammates were zooming across the field and communicating, despite not having one of their defensive captains, brought a proud smile to James’ face, even if the final 17-10 score did not.
Molden has become a key cog in the secondary since joining the Chargers after training camp in a trade with the Tennessee Titans, starting three games with 18 tackles and one interception. “What he's done has been outstanding, but wasn't unexpected,” said general manager Joe Hortiz, who traded a 2026 seventh-round pick for the former Washington Huskies star. “He is a talented athlete and he's a very smart football player and he's highly competitive.
