The Facts:
The best news for the Chargers last night came before their preseason game against the Rams. With Philip Rivers throwing passes, Gates ran about 20 routes of varying types about an hour before the Chargers commenced their 7-6 loss. "He looked really good," Rivers said. "That's encouraging for us, and for him."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Union-Tribune staffer Kevin Acee, Gates ran short and deep, full speed, cutting across the field and came in and out of breaks extremely strong. He walked off the field without a limp and less-than-usual discomfort afterward. This was the third time Gates has run routes this hard. He skipped doing so Thursday because of soreness. But he said last night was encouraging and he actually looked forward to seeing how he felt when he woke up in the morning. He said, "I really feel more than ever I'll be ready" for the Sept. 7 season opener.
