"Antonio Gates caught a pass in the end zone and tiptoed both feet in-bounds.

It was against air at the beginning of Monday's practice, but it's been a while since anyone has seen even that much. And it appears Gates is on track to at least try to make such a play in a game.

"The one thing about Antonio, he always looks good when he's out there," head coach Norv Turner said later. "He went through part of practice and we're going to go day-to-day, and hopefully he doesn't have a setback and he's able to practice on Wednesday.""
