No Huddle: The 49ers’ Biggest Challengers In The NFC →

Gore’s injury not serious; will return on Tuesday night

Sep 17, 2007 at 2:46 PM--


According to Mike Nolan, the team did not suffer any serious injuries on Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. Fans were concerned for running back Frank Gore when he left the field late in the game and appeared to be injured. Nolan said that it was a simple leg strain and that none of the injuries to Gore or wide receiver Darrell Jackson were likely to prevent any of the players from playing this weekend against the Steelers. Jackson had tweaked his back. Gore and Jackson may not practice on Wednesday.

Nolan said that he would meet with Frank Gore once he returns Tuesday night from his mother's wake and funeral to see where he is at. Running backs coach Bishop Harris, fullback Moran Norris and tackle Jonas Jennings traveled with Gore after the game on Sunday.

"I think people have a hard time looking at that name and saying that's a franchise quarterback," Florio noted. The Pro Football Talk writer joined 95.7 The Game on Wednesday morning and explained the comments, noting that they were part of a broader conversation about why some are reluctant to embrace the 49ers' second-year player as a franchise quarterback. "I had given various other reasons, including, for example, last player taken in the draft, QB3,
