San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates is expected to be a game-time decision this week. He's dealing with a sprained MCL. This is the first knee injury in Gates career so he really doesn't know how it will react. "It's something I'm not accustomed to dealing with," Gates said. "I've always heard about people with knee situations. Now, I'm dealing with one … It was unique. "I hadn't dealt with it. If it was a foot or an ankle, I know how to deal with that stuff. The knee is (new). ... We haven't said (anything) about whether I'm going or not.
