Will Chiefs See Antonio Gates On The Field For The Chargers?

One of the biggest questions marks for Sunday's game between the San Diego Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs is the status of TE Antonio Gates. He's suffering from a foot injury and didn't practice at all this week.The Chargers Pro Bowl tight end (and very high fantasy football draft pick) was questionable this week with a foot injury.But after last week, when he was held without a catch against Bill Belichick's Patriots, there as no way he wouldn't play this week. Being held without a catch is a rarity for Gates, so he's got a bit of a chip on his shoulder and a little extra something to prove.In a radio interview with a local San Diego radio station, The San Diego Tribune's Kevin Acee said he expects Gates to play.Now how much he actually plays will remain a mystery. The Chiefs have proven to be one of the worst teams in the league this year, while the Chargers are a team that many pundits and prognosticators picked to go to the Super Bowl. These are two teams going in opposite directions.So if the Chargers are up by, say, 24 in the third quarter, San Diego head coach Norv Turner will likely not risk further injury on his tight end and will probably sit him. The entire Chargers receiving corps is injure with Malcolm Floyd a game time decision and Vincent Jackson nursing an abdominal issue.
