The Facts:
Gates was a no-show when Chargers veterans reported for training camp Thursday. He has yet to sign a $380,000 contract the Chargers tendered him as an exclusive rights free agent during the offseason. Gates can't report until he signs either the tender or a long-term deal, which the team says it has been working on since last season.
