Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is not expected to play again this season, a league source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter, perhaps ending the potential Hall of Famer’s NFL career.
Gore had tests on his sprained foot Monday after leaving the Dolphins’ 41-17 loss to the MInnesota Vikings with the injury.
The 35-year-old five-time Pro Bowl selection is in his first season with the Dolphins after signing a one-year contract to play in the city where he starred for the University of Miami in college football.
He is No. 1 among active players with 14,748 rushing yards and No. 4 on the all-time list, trailing only Barry Sanders, Walter Payton and Emmitt Smith, who are all in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
In 14 games this season he has 722 rushing yards and 12 receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown.
