Chargers' Elijah Molden: Recovering from knee surgery
Molden (knee) said Monday he is recovering from offseason surgery undergone to repair a right meniscus tear and expects to be fully healthy for training camp, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Molden said he's already recovered from the broken left fibula he suffered back in December, but he's been limited at voluntary OTAs due to his offseason knee surgery. The veteran safety inked a three-year, $18.75 million contract with the Chargers in February after having tallied a career-high 75 total tackles across 15 regular-season appearances in 2024. He also had seven passes defensed, including three interceptions, and two fumble recoveries last season.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Sticking in LA
Molden (shin) signed a three-year, $18.75 million contract extension with the Chargers on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Chargers acquired Molden just before the start of the regular season, and he was on the field for a career-high 721 defensive snaps and 121 special-teams snaps during the regular season. He racked up 75 total tackles and three interceptions across 15 games and is now likely to be locked into a significant role in the Chargers defense for the next several seasons. Of the $18.75 million, $13.5 is fully guaranteed.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Moved to IR
Molden (shin) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Molden fractured his fibula in last Saturday's win against New England. Though he'd technically be eligible to return if the Chargers make the Super Bowl, head coach Jim Harbaugh has already stated that the fourth-year safety will not play again this season, per Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site. Tony Jefferson is a candidate to step into a starting role in Molden's place, though that job could ultimately go to Alohi Gilman (hamstring), who was designated to return from IR on Wednesday.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Season-ending injury confirmed
Molden will not play again this season after suffering a broken fibula in the Chargers' win over the Patriots on Saturday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Molden's 2024 campaign will come to an early end , one in which the Washington product recorded a career-high 75 combined tackles and seven passes defended, including three interceptions, in 15 games. The Chargers will now likely turn to Eddie Jackson, who recently joined the team after being released by the Ravens in November, to fill in for Molden.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Suffers broken fibula Saturday
Molden broke the fibula in his left leg during the Chargers' 40-7 win over the Patriots on Saturday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Molden was carted off late in the third quarter of Saturday's game after suffering a non-contact injury to his left leg. Initial tests have revealed that he suffered a broken fibula, and if further tests confirm the diagnosis he will be sidelined for the rest of the 2024 campaign. Molden will likely end the regular season with 75 tackles (43 solo), seven pass defenses (including three interceptions) and two fumble recoveries across 15 games. Eddie Jackson will probably start at free safety in the Chargers' regular-season finale against the Raiders due to Molden's injury.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Suffers non-contact injury Saturday
Molden (shin) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Patriots.
Molden suffered a non-contact injury to his left leg late in the third quarter. While he's listed as questionable, it doesn't appear likely that he'll return to the contest given that he was carted off the field, coupled with the Chargers' large lead in the fourth quarter. Eddie Jackson will take over at free safety while Molden in sidelined.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Questionable to play New England
Molden (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's injury report and is questionable for Saturday's game against the Patriots.
Molden was unable to play in the Chargers' Week 16 win over the Broncos due to a knee injury. He was listed as a limited practice participant all week, and his official status for Saturday's game may not be known until the Chargers announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. With Marcus Maye (ankle) played on injured reserve, Tony Jefferson would be slated to start at free safety alongside strong safety Derwin James if Molden is not cleared to play.

Chargers' Elijah Molden: Ruled out for TNF
Molden (knee) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Broncos.
Molden wasn't expected to play Thursday due to a knee injury he likely suffered against the Buccaneers this past Sunday. The 2021 third-round pick will look to take advantage of the additional rest and be ready to go for the Chargers' Week 17 clash against the Patriots on Saturday, Dec. 28. Tony Jefferson and Marcus Maye are the top candidates to serve as the Chargers' starting free safety Thursday due to Molden's absence.

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