Molden (thumb) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Vikings.
Scouting Report
The cornerback struggled early in his NFL career but has grown into an effective slot corner, despite not being a true speed demon. He is a reliable tackler on the edge and is more physical than most cornerbacks. His instincts, pedigree (his father was a defensive back in the NFL) and football smarts help him recognize plays quickly. He also has a nose for the football and plays with urgency.
Long Range Potential: Versatile slot cornerback.
