The San Diego Chargers are getting their health back.
Both running back Ryan Mathews (broken clavicle) and tight end Antonio Gates (ribs) are practicing Wednesday. Barring setbacks, both players should be ready to go in a key game against visiting Atlanta on Sunday. Mathews has been out since the first preseason game and Gates missed Sunday’s win over Tennessee.
