Chargers' Elijah Molden: Will play Week 4
Molden (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Molden missed the Chargers' last two games due to a hamstring injury that he suffered against the Chiefs in Week 1. He drew the questionable tag after an LP-LP-FP practice log, and he's progressed enough in his recovery to make his return in Sunday's road contest. Molden should play a prominent role in the Chargers' secondary alongside Derwin James and Alohi Gilman.

Molden (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Molden was able to practice in full Friday, which would seem to put him on track to play Sunday after he missed the previous two contests. It's unclear if Molden will reclaim his starting role from Tony Jefferson once healthy.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Makes return to practice
Molden (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Molden has missed the Chargers' last two games due to a lingering hamstring injury, but his activity at practice Wednesday signals there's a chance he could suit up again in Week 4.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Sidelined for Monday night
Molden (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Raiders.
Molden was unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury likely sustained in the Chargers' Week 1 win against the Chiefs, making it no surprise that he'll be unavailable in Week 2. The Washington product played as one of Los Angeles' top defensive backs in 2024, tallying 75 total tackles and seven passes defended, including three interceptions, over 15 regular-season appearances. R.J. Mickens and Kendall Williamson are projected to serve as the Chargers' top reserve safeties with Molden sidelined Monday night.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Limited by hamstring

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Logs four stops Week 1
Molden totaled four tackles (all solo) in Friday's 27-21 win against the Chiefs.
This was a relatively quiet performance by Molden after he averaged 5.8 tackles across his final nine regular-season games last year. Nonetheless, the veteran safety saw ample time on the field, as he logged 55 of the Chargers' 61 defensive snaps. Molden was able to play a near every-down role because Derwin James largely lined up in the slot.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Returns to practice
Molden (knee) was activated from the active/PUP list Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Molden was unavailable to open training camp while recovering from offseason knee surgery, but he has now been cleared to return to action. The safety played in 15 regular-season games with the Chargers in 2024, recording 75 total tackles (43 solo) while also adding seven passes defensed, including three interceptions, and two fumble recoveries. Molden appears to be set to operate as the top reserve option at free safety behind Alohi Gilman in 2025.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Begins camp on PUP
Molden (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list to begin training camp Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Molden is recovering from offseason knee surgery, though he has termed himself fully healthy. This move doesn't necessarily contradict that, as he can be brought along slowly to begin training camp but is eligible to be activated at any time during the preseason. Molden logged a career-high 721 defensive snaps in 2024, and he should be in line to compete with Alohi Gilman for playing time at safety.
