The Facts:
Gates is still holding out hope of playing Sunday, although the TE yesterday said surgery is an eventual possibility for his injured left big toe. "Unfortunately I really can't say at this point whether or not I'm going to have surgery because it's still a 50-50 chance," Gates said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
For the moment, however, Gates is hoping almost nonstop treatment will allow him to play Sunday. "I'm trying to do everything I can," he said. "Right now, it's still a game-time decision. It's pretty sore. It felt good Tuesday, but it doesn't feel as good today. It's a tricky situation, really it is. ... I've still got a couple of days to do treatment and get some rest on it. They're trying to eliminate as much pain and swelling as possible." Gates said he likely won't put the toe to a running test until Sunday morning.
