Can Gore Go 12 Games This Year?

stevenking57 · 2010-05-12T20:40:34-07:00

Over the last couple years Gore has missed several games due to injury. Do you think the wear and tear of being the "Bell cow" has caught up with him or has he had a run of bad luck?

I think bad luck. But then again it seems like he is always at risk, or so prone to injury it's ridiculous...

Gore's injuries haven't been anything serious, like knee injuries or anything broken.

It has mainly been sprained ankles. Those are a luck (or no such) of the draw.

i dont agree with the notion that frank gore is injury prone, he was in college, but at a position where players all around the league tend to miss a game here and there, he has been pretty durable

He has played in atleast 13 games every year in the league I believe.

Actually it is 14 games a year. He has missed 5 games in 5 years. I dont know why these injury concerns keep surfacing.
