Last year the Chargers selected James with the 17th overall pick in the draft, and he was outstanding his rookie season, being chosen first-team All-Pro while starting all 16 games and playing a team-high 99 percent of defensive snaps. Losing him for any time at all will be a big blow to the Chargers’ defense.
