Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Gates was busy in Sunday's win over Chicago, with nine catches for 107 yards (including a touchdown). "I took a lot of hits, man," Gates said. ... "It's a concern because he didn't practice, but I think he's all right," HC Norv Turner said. "It'll be day-to-day. I'd assume he'll be able to do part of practice tomorrow." Assuming Gates returns Thursday, the issue will be moot.
