San Francisco 49ers beat Arizona Cardinals, lose Frank Gore to fractured hip
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 sustained a fractured right hip early
in a 27-6 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night. A
team spokesman did not put a timeline Gore's return, but the season
appears to be over for the
49ers' leading rusher.
Gore carried the ball twice after his injury before coming out
for good with 5:11 to go in the first quarter. Even then, Gore
lobbied coaches to go back in.
