James, who also went into the medical tent, was flagged 15 yards and disqualified from the game for unnecessary roughness. The three-time Pro Bowler, who made a highlight-reel interception in the first quarter, appeared frustrated as he walked off the field following his ejection.
After Los Angeles' 20-3 win over Indy, Chargers head coach Brandon Staley told reporters that James was in concussion protocol.
The safety had been sidelined for Los Angeles' previous two games due to a quad injury.
