Chargers tight end Antonio Gates recently said that, instead of playing “the whole game” in 2015, he’s more likely to play only in those situation where he’s likely to get the ball. He now says he didn’t say what it sounded like he said.
“For me, to put in all this work in all these years and have the opportunity to play and say I don’t want to play, I don’t know where people got that from,” Gates told Michael Gehlken of U-T San Diego.
They got it from his own words: “With injuries and whatnot, I played a little bit more than they expected me to play last season,” Gates told TheMMQB.
