Top Elijah Molden News

  • Chargers' Elijah Molden: Active for Week 16

    Molden (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Molden was able to log limited practices throughout the week, and the effort has paid off, as the free safety will be able to suit up against the Cowboys. In the 26-year-old's last full game against the Raiders, he logged five tackles, including two solo, through 96 percent of defensive snaps.

  • Chargers' Elijah Molden: Questionable to play Sunday

    Molden (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Molden suffered a hamstring injury against the Eagles that kept him out in Week 15 versus the Chiefs. With limited participation in practice all week, the 26-year-old has a chance to play Sunday. The fifth-year pro has 46 tackles (26 solo) in nine games played this season. Tony Jefferson will likely start if Molden is unable to play.

  • Chargers' Elijah Molden: Inactive for Week 15

    Molden (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Molden was unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 14 against the Eagles. He'll be sidelined for Sunday's game, which opens the door for Tony Jefferson to start at safety. Molden will aim to return for the Chargers' Week 16 tilt against the Cowboys on Sunday, Dec. 21.

  • 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: Green light to play Week 11

    Molden (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

    Molden had his practice reps limited during Week 11 prep due to a knee injury, but he has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. The fifth-year safety has accumulated 30 tackles (17 solo) across seven regular-season games.

  • 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.
