The NFL announced the suspension after James was flagged for unnecessary roughness during Los Angeles' 20-10 loss to the Steelers, marking his seventh such penalty.
In a letter to James, NFL vice president Jon Runyan stated that video evidence showed he lowered his head on a hit, resulting in legal, forcible contact.
Runyan emphasized that James' repeated violations show a disregard for player safety rules, warranting substantial penalties for risks associated with illegal tackles.
The Chargers face additional challenges, possibly missing key players like quarterback Justin Herbert and tackle Rashawn Slater for the upcoming game against the Chiefs.
