San Francisco 49ers beat Arizona Cardinals but may have lost Frank Gore for the season with an
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- If the
49ers are going to make a run at the
NFC West, they're going to have to do it without Frank Gore.
Their do-everything back suffered a fractured right hip early in
the
49ers' 27-6 victory over the Arizona
Cardinals on Monday night. A team spokesman did not put a timeline
on Gore's return, but the season appears over for the
49ers' leading rusher.
Gore carried the ball twice after his original injury before
coming out for good with 5:11 to go in the first quarter. Even
then, Gore lobbied coaches to go back in. "We had to hide his
helmet," coach Mike Singletary said.
