COSTA MESA, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Chargers will get a much-needed boost Sunday with the team officially activating safeties Derwin James and Adrian Phillips from injured reserve.
James started the season on injured reserve due to a stress fracture in his right foot that required surgery. The All-Pro safety returned to the field Monday and practiced all week without any issues.
Phillips was designated to return from IR two weeks ago after missing nine games with a broken forearm.
Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said Friday he'll closely monitor James and Phillips' snap count if they are active for Sunday's road contest against the Denver Broncos.
