Chargers tight end Antonio Gates should be able to get back on the field today.

Gates, listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, is expected to play, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

What isn’t clear is whether he’ll get a full workload. The 36-year-old Gates hasn’t been able to do much this season, with just six catches for 35 yards and one touchdown.

Chargers rookie Hunter Henry, the team’s second-round draft pick, has been the top tight end target this year, with 10 catches for 153 yards and a touchdown.
