Alohi Gilman doubtful for Chargers’ Week 2 matchup with Panthers

The Chargers are likely going to be without one of their starting safeties this Sunday.

Chargers safety Alohi Gilman is doubtful for Los Angeles’ Week 2 matchup with the Panthers.

Gilman did not practice the entire week while dealing with a knee injury.

With Gilman out, Elijah Molden is likely to start alongside Derwin James.

“I think so,” Jim Harbaugh said when asked if Molden is ready to step up this weekend.

Harbaugh said that “it’s possible” Tony Jefferson could be elevated to the active roster from the practice squad.

Also listed on the injury report are edge defender Joey Bosa (back), running back Hassan Haskins (toe), wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) and Ja’Sir Taylor (fibula). They are all questionable.

Bosa worked off to the side on Friday.

A knee injury is what limited Palmer in 2023.

Taylor participated in individual drills for the first time this week when practice was open to the media.
