San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates is out for Sunday’s tilt with the Raiders.
Gates didn’t practice this week and was questionable for the game with a knee injury and his absence should provide a boost for the Raiders’ chances of earning a second road win of the season.
San Diego is also without starting center Chris Watt with a groin injury that also had him questionable during the week. Free safety Eric Weddle also has a groin injury and won’t play after having been ruled out on Friday.
For the Raiders, DT Justin Ellis is inactive.
