Derwin James Jr. Says He’s ’Not a Dirty Player’ After Ejection

View the original article to see embedded media.

Chargers star Derwin James Jr. offered his first public comments on Thursday since delivering a devastating helmet-to-helmet hit that resulted in his ejection against the Colts in Week 16.

James was flagged for unnecessary roughness and disqualified from the Monday Night Football matchup after his helmet made contact with Colts receiver Ashton Dulin’s head and neck area during a tackle in the second quarter. Dulin was later ruled out with a concussion that caused him to miss Week 17 while James was also diagnosed with a concussion that sidelined him the following week.
