Chargers safety Derwin James did not practice with the team in its first day of training camp Wednesday at Jack Hammett Sports Complex in Costa Mesa, California.
James, who is entering the fifth and final year of his rookie deal, is hoping to secure a long-term extension. Chargers head coach Brandon Staley told reporters that negotiations for James’s contract are “taking shape” and that the franchise is working through his contract.
But, until the contract is solidified, James will not be practicing.
