Chargers' Antonio Gates: Full participant in practice

Gates (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Analysis:

Gates was expected to play this week, and after practicing fully on Thursday it seems like everything is a go for the 36-year-old. While Hunter Henry's status remains a mystery heading into Sunday as he's been a limited participant in both practices this week, Gates should still see a plethora of targets Sunday regardless if Henry is able to play. However, if Henry is held out, don't be surprised if Gates puts together similar numbers to last week, in which he caught five passes for 75 yards and a touchdown.
