San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore is expected to miss three weeks because of a right ankle strain.
The 49ers said Monday night that the strain was revealed during an MRI.
Gore 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 says the injury is not related to the ankle sprain Gore sustained during his 207-yard rushing performance against the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 20.

Frank Gore needed a friendly ear after his poor season-opening outing, so he called up offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye in the middle of the night.
“He just wanted somebody to hug, rub and lie to him,” Raye said. “He was feeling bad. He wanted to know if he was missing some holes. Like what most great runners do, he felt bad that he didn’t have the kind of opening day performance that he had anticipated.”
That moment, at 2 a.m. last Monday morning, is when Raye realized Week 2 would be much different for San Francisco’s star running back.
Gore’s spectacular afternoon single-handedly re-established the 49ers’ run game.

With the fourth practice session behind us, we’re slowly starting to get a couple of answers to our ever-mounting questions about the San Francisco 49ers, as both Head Coach Mike Singletary and Offensive Coordinator Jimmy Raye were in a talking mood on Monday afternoon.
Obviously the two most oft-asked questions so far have been (and will continue to be): 1) Who’s the starting quarterback? and 2) When will he get the chance to throw it to Michael Crabtree?
But for all the “Quarterback Controversy” mumbo jumbo, this morning practice was a jarring reminder that regardless of who winds up being the guy handing the ball off to him, running back Frank Gore remains the most important player on this offense and that as long as he’s upright and being fed a steady diet of carries, the 49ers have the potential to be an above average offense.
