Antonio Gates, TE SD
News: Chargers All-Pro tight end Antonio Gates missed Wednesday's practice with a sore back but said he expects to return on Thursday. "It tightened up (Wednesday) and we just decided not to see any action today," Gates said. "I'll be back (Thursday)." tomorrow."
Analysis: Gates was busy in Sunday's 14-3 win over Chicago, with nine catches for 107 yards. Among them was a 17-yard touchdown pass from LaDainian Tomlinson. "I took a lot of hits, man," Gates said. "It's a concern because he didn't practice, but I think he's all right," coach Norv Turner said. "It'll be day-to-day. I'd assume he'll be able to do part of practice (Thursday)." The Chargers don't seem too concerned about Gates' injury at this time and neither should Fantasy owners. Keep him active in all Fantasy leagues for Week 2.

Big to do about nothing. Just a sore back... precautionary holdout

It must be bad if he's going to miss a game of this magnitude. One would think this is a week that could have playoff seeding implications.

I think SD is playing games like the Pats with their injury report.

" San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates did not practice Wednesday and is listed as doubtful for this weekend on Wednesday's injury report. "???

We went over this in the other Gates thread. he was not designeated as anything other than not practicing today. The info comes straight from the Chargers and there was confusion on reading the columns as they were listed on the site. Gates was not listed as doubtful. The Blogger headline is inaccurate.

part of the relatively new classification system...if he doesn't practice at all = doubtful

Actually, they don't even use the terms probable, questionable and doubtful until Thursday. They just report whether they participated in practice fully, partially or not at all. Some news sources are incorrectly translating those into probable, questionable and doubtful, but that's really not correct.

No. He's listed as doubtful because he did not practice Wednesday. He does not need to practice Wednesday. He is day to day but they expect him to be at practice Thursday. There is pretty much no chance he misses the game this weekend. I own him in almost all leagues and am not even the slightest bit concerned about this. He just took some shots this weekend vs the Bears and is taking an extra day to rest up. No biggie.

sounds like he just needs a day in the hot tub.

saying doubtful in this subject made me think he was seriously injured for sunday adn that their WRs should bump up. But this is more smoke than fire.

Gates was sipping cola beverages in the training room, laughing, while his compadres were out on the field hitting sleds.
Veteran taking an extra day off = doubtful now?

Yes. The new injury report sucks.

Rotoworld claims he fully practiced today (Thursday). Go figure.
David Yudkin
Footballguy
Yes. Gates fully participated in practice and should not be on the injury report tomorrow (although I guess they could still list him). He had a sore back and took the day off yesterday. I don't suspect that there is anything to see here.

No, he's not listed as doubtful. David Yudkin had it exactly correct earlier in the thread.
Click on that link.In the Wednesday column, Gates is listed as "Did Not Participate in Practice."
In the Thursday column, Gates is listed as "Full Participation in Practice."
The Friday column is all blanks right now, but that's the column where people can be listed as Probable, Questionable, or Doubtful. Not until then.

My favorite was Lynch being listed as doubtful after missing practice with an upset stomach.
Marshawn Lynch was not listed as doubtful. He was listed as "Did Not Participate in Practice" on Wednesday. Nobody is listed as doubtful until Friday. It's a new system this year.My favorite was Lynch being listed as doubtful after missing practice with an upset stomach.

You're right....I was going by how MFL translated the NFL injury report for Wed.Marshawn Lynch was not listed as doubtful. He was listed as "Did Not Participate in Practice" on Wednesday. Nobody is listed as doubtful until Friday. It's a new system this year.My favorite was Lynch being listed as doubtful after missing practice with an upset stomach.
