Chargers' RJ Mickens: Chance to play vs. Denver
Mickens (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Mickens posted an LP/LP/FP practice log during Week 18 prep and has a chance to return from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury. The rookie sixth-rounder has worked in a rotational role in the secondary but could see more defensive snaps Sunday if Elijah Molden (hamstring) is not cleared to play.

Chargers' Bradley Bozeman: Questionable for Week 18
Bozeman (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Bozeman was limited in the first two practices of Week 18 prep before logging a full practice Friday, indicating that he is progressing through the league's concussion protocol. The final step before clearing protocol is to pass an evaluation by an independent neurologist. If Bozeman is unable to play against Denver, then Andre James would likely start at center.
