Los Angeles Chargers All-Pro safety Derwin James is eyeing a return from a foot injury after the team's Week 12 bye, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
James suffered a stress fracture in his right foot during training camp. The 23-year-old underwent surgery in mid-August and was subsequently placed on injured reserve on Sept. 1.
The injury was one James originally suffered before his sophomore season at Florida State, according to ESPN. James refractured the foot during a joint practice with the New Orleans Saints on Aug. 15.
James was stellar in his rookie campaign, as he finished second in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting while piling up 105 total tackles, 13 pass breakups, 3.5 sacks, and three interceptions.
