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' Elijah Molden: Inactive for Week 15
Rotowire
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' Tre' Harris: Could benefit sans Johnston
Rotowire
Harris is expected to serve as the Chargers' primary 'X' receiver in Sunday's game against the Chiefs with Quentin Johnston (groin) inactive for the contest, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Though wideouts Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen as well as tight end Oronde Gadsden are likely to remain prioritized in the passing game ahead of him, Harris should see his role grow in Week 15. The rookie second-round pick has thus far drawn considerable praise for his physicality as a run blocker, but he should be in line for more route-running opportunities Sunday. When Johnston was previously sidelined Week 6 against Miami while tending to a hamstring injury, Harris set season highs in snap share (83 percent) and targets (five) and finished with four catches for 27 yards.

Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Not available Sunday
Rotowire
Johnston (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Johnston was a late addition to the Chargers' Week 15 injury report, with Los Angeles listing him as questionable for Sunday's contest after he was unexpectedly a limited participant during Friday's practice. The third-year wideout ultimately won't be able to give it a go Sunday, resulting in him missing his second game of the season. With Johnston sidelined, the Chargers could have more reps and targets available for Keenan Allen and Tre' Harris behind No. 1 wideout Ladd McConkey.
Campbell was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.
Campbell was also elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 14 win versus Philadelphia on Monday Night Football. But, he wound up being ruled a healthy scratch for the contest. Backup wideout Derius Davis (ankle) has already been ruled out, and starter Quentin Johnston (groin) is questionable. It's likely that Campbell will only be active if Johnston ends up being ruled inactive 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 pm ET kickoff.
Chargers' Trey Pipkins: Unlikely to suit up vs. Kansas City
Rotowire
Pipkins (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Pipkins was unable to practice all week after sustaining an ankle injury during the Chargers' overtime win over the Eagles on Monday. Assuming he doesn't play in Sunday's AFC West tilt, Trevor Penning and Bobby Hart would be the top candidates to start at right tackle.
Dye (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
The veteran linebacker from Oregon opened the Chargers' week of practice with consecutive DNPs, but following Friday's limited session, he's got a chance to play Sunday. Dye has appeared in 12 games for Los Angeles this season, recording 51 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defensed. If he's sidelined in Week 15, Del'Shawn Phillips would likely operate as the Chargers' top reserve inside linebacker.
