Gates Injury Update

[Miller]

From KFFL:

San Diego Chargers TE Antonio Gates (ankle) had a protective boot on his injured left ankle following the team's Week 6 loss to the St. Louis Rams, reports Kevin Acee, of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Gates rolled his ankle twice during the game. "I couldn't put any pressure on it," he said following the game. Gates will undergo further tests and his 85-game start streak could be in jeopardy.

We'll know more as the week goes on, but sounds like he is in significant pain and there is a real chance Gates will miss some time here. He has been unreal so far this season. Owners who have been thriving b/c of him may need to find other ways to get by for a few weeks.

Yeah, in SOFFL II he was averaging like 38 points a game!

Apparently its his toe that is giving him problems... sounds like he's got a shot to play though.

A bad toe makes it hard to go.

Read on Rotowire that Gates will play week 7.

Limited practice was the report I read with coach hopeful he'll be able to go.
