Frank Gore Breaks Hand, But He'll Be Fine

Filed under: 49ers, Fantasy Football, NFL Injuries, San FranciscoSan Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore suffered a broken right hand during yesterday's practice, but from all accounts it's not an injury that 49ers fans -- or Gore fantasy owners -- need to worry about. Gore's injury took place during a non-contact ball-handling drill, and although it could force him to miss the entire preseason, it's a near certainty that the hand will be healed well enough for him to play when the regular season begins. If there's any concern about the hand, it's that Gore fumbled six times last year, and pain or reduced grip strength in his hand could make that problem worse. Gore does have a long history of serious injury. He has had the ACLs in both knees and the labrums in both shoulders surgically repaired. But if anything, holding him out of the preseason will make him less likely to get hurt that seriously again. He'll be fine.Permalink Email this Comments
