Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Gates, who had surgery nearly six months ago to repair a tear in the plantar plate of his left foot, said his prospects look good for playing in the regular-season opener against the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 7, but only if he doesn't have any setbacks with his foot. "I hate to look so far down the road because this is a tricky situation," Gates said. "It's one of those injuries where you have to really monitor and make sure I'm not overdoing it. ..." If Gates hadn't passed a physical before the final roster cutdown on Aug. 30, he would have been required to miss the first six games of the regular season.
