Doubtful for TNF Molden (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough and is listed as doubtful to play against the Broncos on Thursday.

Impact Molden has been absent from practice all week due to a knee injury he likely picked up during this past Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. Assuming Molden is ruled out for Thursday's AFC West clash, Marcus Maye and Tony Jefferson would be the top candidates to start at free safety alongside strong safety Derwin James.

It's worth noting the Chargers only held a walkthrough Monday, so the Washington product's participation level is only an estimate. A clearer picture of his status for Thursday's game against the Broncos will likely come closer to their Week 16 kickoff.

AUGUST 29, 2024 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Traded to Chargers The Chargers acquired Molden from the Titans on Wednesday in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round pick.

Impact Molden registered a career-high 73 tackles (47 solo), four passes defended and a pick-six across 15 regular-season games for the Titans in 2023. Despite the uptick in production, Molden was set to see less snaps in Tennessee's secondary with Amani Hooker, Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams all getting work at safety, while Roger McCreary slots in at nickel corner. Molden will get a fresh start with the Chargers, and he should be utilized across multiple spots in the Bolts' secondary.
