They ought to be okay still, as far as food safety goes. But grilling
them tonight probably means thawing them too fast. To maximize your
chances of getting a decent result in terms of texture you usually
want to thaw them in the fridge as slowly as possible. I have even
put them (in a bag) on ice in the fridge to slow the process down. -
