During that appearance, Fisher shared a comment regarding the status of James with a reference to whether or not he will be available against No. 10 Louisville on Saturday.

To clarify, when I say implied it's not worst possible news, Fisher said "we don't think [it's] that" — Tom Lang (@_TomLang) September 12, 2016

On Sunday, Noles247.com was told that the injury was not believed to be a torn ACL, per second-hand sources.

The timeframe shared with Noles247.com had James likely missing at least a couple weeks of action on the field.

We also reached out to James' father for comment, but were only given a broad statement.

“He’s going to be fine,” James’ father told Noles247.com on Sunday.

Noles247.com reached out to FSU for confirmation, but they could not confirm details of the injury at this time.

The 6-foot-3, 211-pound defensive back is FSU’s leading tackler with 10 tackles, including nine solo tackles, on the 2016 season. He also has an interception and pass defended.

As a freshman in 2015 James was a breakout national star. He had 91 tackles with 9.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, five pass breakups, three quarterback hurries, two fumbles forced and two fumble recoveries.

Fisher is expected to discuss the injury further during his 1 p.m. press conference on Monday.
