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: Gets first interception Thursday
Rotowire
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.
