Impact James didn't have to do too much in a game in which the Steelers struggled to put together much of anything on offense, failing to secure a solo tackle for the second time in three games. The 29-year-old has seen his production dip as the season has gone on, averaging 4.3 tackles per game after compiling 34 takedowns over the team's first four contests of the year. James has now registered 60 total tackles (33 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also adding three passes defensed, one of which is an interception, over 10 games this season.

Logs full practice Thursday James (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Logs limited practice Wednesday James (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact James is rehabbing through a low-ankle sprain that he picked up during the Chargers' Week 8 victory over the Vikings. His ability to practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- indicates that the injury isn't a long-term issue, and he'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Titans. James tallied at least seven tackles in five of the seven games prior to his injury in Week 8, and his 49 stops through eight regular-season games is second most on the Chargers behind Daiyan Henley (52).
