Chargers' Elijah Molden: Likely out for Sunday
Molden (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
The 26-year-old didn't practice all week after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Week 14 win over the Eagles. Molden is an important piece of the Chargers' secondary, recording 46 total tackles through 10 appearances this season. If he's sidelined as expected Sunday, Tony Jefferson will likely start at free safety.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Misses practice Wednesday
Molden (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Molden suffered a hamstring injury during Monday's win over the Eagles and was forced off the field early, so it's little surprise to see him sidelined at practice. The starting safety will have two more chance to get in at least limited on-field reps ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Chiefs.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Done for Week 14
Molden (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest against the Eagles, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Molden suffered a hamstring injury in the first half and was ruled out during the third quarter. Tarheeb Still is getting work as the slot corner while Derwin James has slid over to safety in Molden's stead. Molden will look to get well ahead of next Sunday's clash against Kansas City.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Exits MNF with hamstring injury
Molden (hamstring) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Eagles, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Molden went to the locker room before halftime, and he is having his hamstring evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Monday's game. The Chargers will likely move Derwin James to safety and deploy Tarheeb Still in the slot corner position for as long as Molden is out of the game.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Questionable for Sunday
Molden (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Molden upgraded from a DNP on Thursday to a limited practice session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. The Washington product has appeared in seven games this season, recording 30 total tackles. If he misses his fourth game of the season in Week 11, expect Tony Jefferson to operate as Los Angeles' top free safety.

Molden logged three consecutive limited practice sessions in preparation for Week 8 action, so it appears he has a fair chance to gain clearance to suit up for Thursday Night Football.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Logs limited practice Tuesday
Molden (thumb) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday.
Molden was also deemed limited in Monday's practice estimation. The veteran safety hurt his thumb in Week 6 against Miami and didn't play this past Sunday against Indianapolis, but it appears he has a chance of returning to action Thursday versus Minnesota. However, if Molden can't suit up against the Vikings, RJ Mickens will likely again get an elevated role on defense.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Limited on Monday's estimation
Molden (thumb) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.
Molden has missed three games already this season due to thumb and hamstring issues. The thumb injury prevented him from playing in Sunday's loss to the Colts. Tony Jefferson and RJ Mickens soaked up most of the extra safety snaps alongside Derwin James in Molden's absence.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Won't play Week 7
Molden (thumb) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
A thumb injury prevented Molden from practicing all week, and the fourth-year safety will miss his third game of the year as a result. With Molden inactive, rookie sixth-rounder RJ Mickens and Tony Jefferson are the top candidates to start at safety alongside Derwin James. Molden will aim to progress enough in his recovery to play Thursday against the Vikings.
