Chargers position outlook 2018: Will Antonio Gates be back?

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Veteran tight end Antonio Gates indicated he'd like to play for another year at the end of the 2017 campaign, but whether that will be for the Los Angeles Chargers for the upcoming season or another team remains to be seen.

Gates' replacement Hunter Henry was productive but finished the year on the injured reserve with a lacerated kidney. The Chargers also have to replace tight ends coach John McNulty, who took a job as the offensive coordinator at Rutgers.

Lock: Hunter Henry

On the bubble: Sean Culkin

The good: Henry finished with 45 receptions for 579 receiving yards and four scores.
