Gates Looking Good
The San Diego Chargers are feeling positive about Antonio Gates' chances of playing against the Washington Redskins. Gates practiced on Friday after injuring his foot last week in the win over the Buffalo Bills.
Gates was questionable, but appeared to be fluid during practice.
"It was basically the same as yesterday - it got a little bit better," Gates said. "I think it's still going to be a game-time decision for us."
After sitting out midweek practice, Gates returned on Thursday and Friday.
"I tested it out and basically I'm going to wait until and see how it feels," said Gates, the team's top receiver with 56 catches for 784 yards and seven touchdowns. "We'll just decide from there to see if it's sore or I have any pain.
Coach Marty Schottenheimer said Friday that it would be a game-time decision for them. "He did some work out here today," Schottenheimer said. "It was positive."
Gates no longer needs to wear the walking boot his foot has been encased in since he was hurt in the third quarter of Sunday's game. Neither is he limping any more.
For those of you football betting, San Diego are -3 on the spreads, giving up three points to the well organised Redskins.
