AUGUST 1, 2022 • Associated Press
Still not practicing James continues to sit out practice as he awaits a contract extension, and he isn't practicing Monday as a result, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact James is healthy but opting not to practice until he and the Chargers come to terms on an extension. With mutual interest in an extension from both sides, it's likely just a matter of time until a deal is finalized and James returns to practice.

Not practicing Coach Brandon Staley said Wednesday that James will be held out of practice until his contract situation is resolved, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact James was arguably the Chargers' best player on the defensive side of the ball in 2021, registering 118 tackles, five passes defensed and two interceptions on the way to his second career Pro Bowl selection. If Los Angeles is all in on Super Bowl LVII as things appear, it will be of the utmost importance that it retains him. Expect James, assuming he signs soon, to collect a big check and post high-quality fantasy production in 2022.

Ready for camp James reported to training camp Tuesday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Impact As expected, the 2021 Pro Bowler made a timely recovery from the shoulder surgery he underwent early in the offseason and will participate in training camp. If he can replicate his production from last year, he'll once again be one of fantasy's best DB options in 2022 and should put himself in line for a big contract heading into 2023.
JULY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Likely available for training camp James (shoulder) likely will be ready for training camp after sitting out the team's minicamp in June, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Impact James had labrum surgery following the conclusion of the 2021 campaign, but the issue isn't expected to impact the start of this season. The 2018 first-round pick finished last year with a career-best 118 tackles and will be looking to build on those numbers in 2022.

Precautionary absence James (shoulder) is sitting out minicamp as a precaution due to having shoulder surgery earlier in the offseason, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact James missed two games in 2021, both because of a hamstring injury, but he was also apparently suffering from a shoulder issue and had labrum surgery once the season ended. James is expected to be fully ready for training camp and will look to outdo his career-best 118 tackles last year.
