Football 49ers' Gore leaves with injury, return doubtful

[GotGibson?]

San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore left the game Sunday against Minnesota with a right ankle injury. The team says X-rays showed no broken bones and his return is doubtful.

Gore has been bothered by the injury since last week against Seattle. He rushed for 207 yards on 16 carries in the game, but did not play for most of the fourth quarter after getting hurt.

He left the game after rushing for 4 yards on one carry on the second possession of the game for San Francisco. Gore limped to the sidelines and tried to walk it off for several minutes before taking a cart to the locker room.

Glen Coffee replaces Gore as the 49ers primary running back.

49ers RB Gore will undergo MRI on right ankle

San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore will undergo an MRI late Monday afternoon to determine the extent of damage to his injured right ankle.

Gore re-injured the ankle on his only carry during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He left the game after a four-yard gain and did not return.

Gore was taken to the locker room on a cart but X-rays revealed no broken bones.

The team is calling the injury an ankle strain that is not related to the ankle sprain he suffered during his 207-yard rushing performance against the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 20.

Coach Mike Singletary said he will wait for the MRI results before discussing whether Gore will be able to return for this week's game against the St. Louis Rams.
