The Chargers probably won't know until right before kickoff Nov. 27 whether record-setting tight end Antonio Gates will be able to play against the Washington Redskins.
Even if Gates doesn't practice this week, there's still a chance he could play, coach Marty Schottenheimer said. Schottenheimer used to have a rule that if a player didn't practice during the week, he didn't play.
"That old rule, that's part of the things that I've changed as I've grown older and -- in the minds of some -- soft," Schottenheimer joked.

Unfortunately I have to assume that he'll play. I can't see him sitting out. Either way containment of L.T. is still my #1 priority on sunday.
