Chargers' Tony Jefferson: Sees increased role in Week 16
Tony Jefferson logged seven tackles (four solo) during the Los Angeles Chargers' 34-27 win over the Broncos this past Thursday.Jefferson ended up playing 100 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps this past Thursday due to Elijah Molden (knee) being inactive and backup free safety Marcus Maye suffering an ankle injury in the first quarter. Jefferson ended up finishing with the second-most tackles on the Chargers behind Daiyan Henley (10). Jefferson would be slated to start at free safety against the Patriots on Saturday if both Molden and Maye are unable to play.

Chargers' Tony Jefferson: Cleared to suit up Sunday
Tony Jefferson (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's Week 15 game versus Tampa Bay, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.Jefferson missed this past Sunday's loss to Kansas City, but he was able to log an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week. As such, he's in line to return to action Sunday. With Los Angeles' starters in the secondary healthy, Jefferson will likely play primarily on special teams unless an injury ahead of him on the depth chart requires him to log more defensive work.

Chargers' Tony Jefferson: Limited to begin practice week
Tony Jefferson (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.Jefferson logged a season-high 69 percent of the Los Angeles Chargers' defensive snaps against Atlanta in Week 13, but he was then unable to suit up this past Monday versus Kansas City due to a hamstring issue. The veteran safety closed last week with a pair of DNPs, so his ability to start this week with a limited session is a positive sign for his chance of returning Sunday versus Tampa Bay. If he can't suit up for that game, though, Marcus Maye could again see more work on defense.
