INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James was ejected from Monday night’s game late in the first half after two personal fouls in three plays against the Indianapolis Colts.
The three-time Pro Bowler was handed a facemask penalty when Michael Pittman Jr.’s helmet came loose on a 7-yard flyout. Then, two plays later, James was called for hitting a defenseless receiver with the crown of his helmet.
The second game sent Colts receiver Ashton Dulin to the locker room to be assessed for a head injury.
James was escorted off the field after Indy was able to drive through the two penalties for a 46-yard field goal to make it 7–3.
James also had the second of the Chargers’ two interceptions in the first half. He had missed the previous two games with a quadriceps injury.
