Safety Derwin James will miss most of the 2019 season.

On Friday NFL Network reported that the 23-year-old had suffered a stress fracture in his fifth metatarsal and would undergo surgery. He is expected to be out three to four months.

The second year defensive back was drafted by the Chargers in the first round in 2018. He earned a Pro Bowl selection and first team all pro in just his first season and amassed 105 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 13 pass deflections and three interceptions. 

The loss will push Desmond King and Rayshawn Jenkins into bigger roles this season.
