Player Notes
July 21, 2008
Antonio Gates tested his left big toe on Monday and tells the AP that the digit is 65-to-70 percent healed. "Obviously, it's a process," Gates says. "I'm a lot better than I felt a month ago. I can say that. I have no determinant on when and how fast I'll be coming back. But right now, I feel good. It's a little sore, but it's tolerable." The tight end underwent surgery in late February to repair a tear in the plantar plate. He worked out for 45 minutes by running and cutting on Monday.

Our View:Gates' status for Week 1 remains uncertain, and he could even open the season on the PUP list. His fantasy value won't be solidified until later in the preseason.
July 21, 2008
Antonio Gates' status for Week 1 is yet to be determined by the Chargers, according to the North County Times. He is recovering from off-season toe surgery.

Our View:It is too early to begin worrying about Gates. He could come at a value in earlier fantasy drafts if his uncertain Week 1 status scares away other owners.
June 2, 2008
Antonio Gates has yet to begin running, the team's official web site reports. "He's exercising and working it pretty good," head coach Norv Turner explains. "He's making great progress. I don't think they want him running yet." Gates is coming off surgery to repair a dislocated and sprained big left toe and was slated to begin running by the end of May.

Our View:It's too soon to begin worrying significantly about Gates' status. He is still expected to be ready for Week 1, but Gates could be limited throughout camp and the preseason.
May 5, 2008
Antonio Gates, who is recovering from toe surgery (in February), will begin running later this month, according to CBSsports. His recovery was expected to take 4-6 months, so it is unlikely he will be ready for training camp in late July.

Our View:He expects to be ready for the season opener against Carolina on September 7, and is already the best TE in the league, so missing training camp won't hurt him, other than from a conditioning standpoint.
May 2, 2008
All world tight end Antonio Gates will not participate in the San Diego Chargers weekend minicamp, according to Chargers.com. Gates will attend the festivities, but continues to recover from the toe surgery he had in February.

Our View:The recovery time for the surgery is between four to six months meaning Gates could return sometime between June and August, depending on how well his foot responds to rehabilitation.
