With nagging knee injury
It looks like the San Diego Chargers will have tight end Antonio Gates and guard Orlando Franklin in the lineup when they face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Both are listed as probable to play this week with knee injuries. (The Score)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Gates has been known to play through injuries, so don’t expect a sore knee to hinder his performance this week. The aging veteran is still putting up respectable numbers, and is a mid to high TE1 this week against the Chiefs.
