Frank Gore Broke His Hand

[FATAL NYGHTMARE]

Running back Frank Gore sustained a broken right hand during the morning practice. He is expected to miss at least a week -- and possibly several exhibition games -- with the injury. Coach Mike Nolan said Gore will be re-evaluated next Monday.

The bone is expected to take four weeks to heal, so it is uncertain if Gore will play during the exhibition season. This means that Michael Robinson, Maurice Hicks and Thomas Clayton will get extended work during training camp. Nolan said the club could also look to add another running back to the roster.

It doesn't sound too serious.. Hopefully he'll just miss the preseason (which might be good because he won't be able to sustain a more serious injury playing in a meaningless game).

But what a fuckin terrible day this has turned out to be. First Bill Walsh passes away, now Gore is hurt. Bad day in Ninerland.

This is definitely not a thread title I wanted to see. At least it ain't a knee or ankle though.

HAHAHAHAHA FUMBLIN GORE WILL RETURN

 

[Sucka Free]

hopefully its only a couple weeks...

 

[FATAL NYGHTMARE]

It's only supposed to be four weeks.

And Gore tucks the ball with his arms (like most RBs do) so I doubt it's gonna cause fumbles.

there goes the niners...

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? ITS A GOD DAMN HAND.

 

[FATAL NYGHTMARE]

Good news.. Niner officials have reported to ESPN that Gore will be ready when the season begins.

Glad it's not too serious.

You still hold part of the ball in your hand.

It doesn't seem like his injury is very serious...but it's still not good.

 

[FATAL NYGHTMARE]

You still hold part of the ball in your hand.

Yes I know, but when it's tucked into your arm you don't need that much hand strength to keep it controlled. It also depends on what hand he broke.. If it's his weaker arm it won't be too bad cuz he can just hold the ball in his other arm.

Regardless he'll be fine..

GOOD HE DOESN'T HAVE TO PLAY IN THE PRESEASON AND RISK INJURY

 

[BROWN GUERRERO]

Broken right hand. He will be good to go by season opener.

 

[BaSICCally]

im not a Niner fan but atleast this didnt happen at week 10.

 

[FATAL NYGHTMARE]

^^No doubt.

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

It would be better if he broke his ball carrying hand IN THEORY, cus like Fatal said, it can be tucked far enough where the arm can take the weight...however, if he broke his off hand, no more stiff arming for him.

 

[FATAL NYGHTMARE]

It was his ball carrying arm, the right. But doctors say he should be 100% by the season opener..

still might slow him down for a game or two, smith might have to step it up to compensate. contrary to popular belief I do want him to play cuz he's an exciting player to watch (and that fucking contract with no other games televised while the 9ers forces me to watch him) but I must admit the title brought a slight smile to my face :cheeky:
