Chargers lose key defender for remainder of the season, playoffs

Elijah Molden’s 2024 season is officially over.

After suffering a broken fibula in the Chargers’ win over the Patriots, Molden posted on his personal Instagram account to announce that he would be sidelined for the final game of the regular season and the playoffs.

The injury occurred in the third quarter.

Los Angeles traded with the Titans for Molden before the start of the season, and the 25-year-old safety went on to have arguably the best campaign of his professional career.

Molden finished with career-highs in tackles (75), passes defended (7), interceptions (3) and fumbles recovered (2).

Alohi Gilman and Marcus Maye are on injured reserve, which means Eddie Jackson, who signed to the practice squad and was promoted to the active roster last week, will be expected to step up.
