Chargers' RJ Mickens: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Mickens (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Mickens injured his shoulder during the Chargers' Week 15 win over the Chiefs. Per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com, Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters Wednesday that Mickens "could miss time" due to his injury. If both Mickens and Elijah Molden (hamstring) are unable to play Sunday against the Cowboys, then Tony Jefferson would be slated for another start at safety alongside Derwin James.

Chargers' RJ Mickens: Could miss time
Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters that Mickens (shoulder) won't practice Wednesday and "could miss time," Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
The rookie safety from Clemson exited the Week 15 win over the Chiefs with a shoulder injury, and it appears that issue could sideline him further. Mickens' practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.

Chargers' RJ Mickens: Questionable to return
Mickens (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Kansas City.
Mickens exited in the first half of Sunday's game with a shoulder injury. The 24-year-old has had a rotational role throughout the season, accounting for 25 tackles (16 solo) and two interceptions in 10 games this season. If the rookie remains out, Tony Jefferson and Kendall Williamson likely will see additional playing time.

Chargers' RJ Mickens: Snags pick in win
Mickens tallied four tackles (two solo) and an interception in the Chargers' win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Mickens snagged his second interception of the season, as he was one of the team's two defenders to pick off Aaron Rodgers in the victory. The 24-year-old will look to build on this strong outing and keep producing in the Week 11 matchup versus the Jaguars.

Chargers' RJ Mickens: Gets first interception Thursday
Mickens recorded two tackles (one solo) and an interception during Thursday's 37-10 win versus the Vikings.
Mickens was on the field for a season-high 36 defensive snaps in Week 8, and he made the most of his opportunity when quarterback Carson Wentz sailed a pass intended for wideout Justin Jefferson early in the fourth quarter. Fellow safeties Derwin James (ankle) and Tony Jefferson (hamstring) suffered injuries Thursday, so Mickens could be in line to see extra work again in Week 9 at Tennessee.

Chargers' R.J. Mickens: Chargers add sixth-round safety
The Chargers selected Mickens in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 214th overall.
Although he's the son of former Jets slot cornerback Ray Mickens, R.J. played the safety position at Clemson. That Mickens (6-feet, 199 pounds) was only a rotational player for his first three collegiate seasons doesn't bode especially well for his NFL projection, but Mickens was a capable starter in those fourth and fifth seasons, and his combine testing was more than adequate (4.49-second 40-yard dash, 41.5-inch vertical jump). Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter coaxed excellent results out of the Chargers' defensive back personnel in 2024, so Mickens could be one of Minter's next success cases.
