PLAYER NEWS
Gore was fined $10,500 by the NFL on Wednesday after he wore his socks too low in Sunday's NFC championship game at Atlanta, an equipment violation. It marked the second time he was fined this season.|||||||
Gore says he was so focused on winning the game and getting the 49ers back to a Super Bowl at last that he didn't give his uniform all the attention he should have. He did his part on the field, though. Gore rank for touchdowns of 5 and 9 yards in the Niners' 28-24 comeback victory over the Falcons, putting his team in position to capture the franchise's sixth title.
Gore managed just six carries for 28 yards in the 49ers' blowout loss at Seattle on Sunday night.|||||||
The 49ers fell behind early and Gore quickly became an afterthought.
Gore carried the ball 12 times for 63 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-13 win over Miami.|||||||
Gore has now found the end zone in three consecutive weeks. He remains a high-end No. 2 RB going forward.
Gore is nursing a wrist problem for the Niners.|||||||
He expects to play Sunday against Miami.
Gore was limited to 58 yards on 23 carries by St. Louis, though he did register a touchdown.|||||||
Gore hasn't run for 100-plus yards since Oct. 18 but is still essentially a must-start in all leagues.
