| 25th November, 2005 - 3:48 pm |  ESPN - Chargers tight end Antonio Gates, who is rebounding from a sprained right foot, was able to participate in part of Thursday's practice.
Gates was injured in Sunday's win over the Buffalo Bills and hadn't been able to work until Thursday. He was no longer wearing a walking boot and was upbeat about his chances of playing in Sunday's road game against the Washington Redskins.
"I'm going to constantly prepare to play this weekend and take care of the foot," said Gates, the team's leading receiver with 56 catches for 784 yards and seven touchdowns.
