OCTOBER 8 • CHARGERS.COM

Available to play Sunday Molden (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against Seattle.

Impact Molden has been battling a hamstring injury but will avoid another absence in Week 4. As a result, RJ Mickens and Genesis Smith should see fewer snaps.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Chance to return vs. Seattle Molden (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact A hamstring injury prevented Molden from playing against the Bills in Week 3, but the sixth-year pro drew the questionable tag for Week 4 after logging three consecutive limited practices. One or both of Tony Jefferson and Genesis Smith could start at safety Sunday depending on the statuses of both Molden and Derwin James (hamstring).

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in Week 3 Molden (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Impact Molden will miss a second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury he sustained in the Chargers' Week 1 loss to the Cardinals. He failed to practice during Week 3 prep, so a return to practice in a limited capacity would put him in the right direction toward playing in Week 4 against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 4.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Can't practice Wednesday Molden (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Impact Molden was forced to miss Sunday's loss versus the Raiders due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 1 versus the Cardinals, and now his status for Week 3 is also in question. He'll likely need to manage at least a limited practice Thursday or Friday to give himself an opportunity to suit up Sunday at Buffalo.

SEPTEMBER 19 • BOLTBEAT.COM

Won't play vs. Raiders Molden (hamstring) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus Las Vegas.

Impact Molden sustained a hamstring injury during the Chargers' regular-season opener versus the Cardinals, and he'll have to sit out at least one game as he recovers. In his absence, veteran Tony Jefferson could start at safety next to Derwin James in Week 2.

SEPTEMBER 18 • CHARGERS.COM

Does not practice Wednesday Molden (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's practice report.

Impact Molden tweaked his hamstring during the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Cardinals this past Sunday, finishing the game with five tackles (three solo). He'll have two more chances to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of the Chargers' Week 2 tilt against the Raiders this Sunday. Rookie fourth-rounder Genesis Smith and veteran Tony Jefferson would be the top candidates to start at safety alongside Derwin James if Molden is not cleared to play against Las Vegas.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Day-to-day with hamstring issue Molden (hamstring) did not return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Impact Molden exited the third quarter of last Sunday's contest with a hamstring injury and is now day-to-day as he deals with the issue. If the starting free safety cannot participate in multiple limited practices or full practices throughout Week 2, he will likely not be able to suit up for next Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Plays starting role again Molden finished the regular season with 52 tackles (28 solo) and an interception in 12 games, all of them starts.

Impact The safety started 12 of 15 regular-season games for the Chargers a year ago, his first season with the team. With two years left on the three-year deal he signed last February, Molden appears to be a part of the team's plans for 2026 as well.

JANUARY 13 • CHARGERS.COM

Active for wild-card round Molden (hamstring) is active for Sunday night's wild-card matchup against New England.

Impact Molden will be good to go for the opening round of the postseason, ultimately being given the green light to play after logging a week's worth of limited practices with a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old will operate in his starting role alongside Derwin James at safety versus the Patriots.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for wild-card round Molden (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Patriots, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact Molden was sidelined for the Chargers' Week 18 loss to the Broncos due to a hamstring injury, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he could suit up Sunday. The 26-year-old from Washington is an integral part of Los Angeles' secondary, recording 52 total tackles and one interception across 12 appearances this season. If active for the wild-card round, Molden will likely operate as the Chargers' top free safety.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Still tending to hamstring injury Molden (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact Molden sat out the team's regular-season finale at Denver because of a lingering hamstring injury, and it's still bothering him as the Bolts begin preparing for the Wild Card Round at New England. Unless he upgrades to full participation Thursday or Friday, he'll be expected to carry an injury designation into the weekend.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Sunday Molden (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Molden was already doubtful to suit up, and with the Chargers sitting Justin Herbert (left hand/rest), it makes sense that the team would want to preserve other players' health for the playoffs. Newly signed defensive back Marcus Maye will likely take over Molden's role for Week 18.
