ESPN - AFC West Gates is confident he will be able to play and contribute this season. Still, he admits he has no idea how the injury will treat him this year. "It could be a hindrance this season," Gates said. "I'm going to play and it is going to be OK. But it could bother me. I've practiced and it's been OK.
