49ers RB Gore to be a game-time decision

Dec 19, 2008 - 9:28 PM SANTA CLARA, California (Ticker) -- San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore sat out practice again Friday and will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game at the St. Louis Rams.

Head coach Mike Singletary said he planned to have Gore sit out practice Friday to allow his sprained left ankle to heal. He officially was listed as questionable for the game.

"He's had a lot of rest last week and this week," Singletary said. "Hopefully he gets some response there."

Gore sat out last weekend's 14-9 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He has not practiced since suffering the injury in the second half of a 24-14 win over the New York Jets on December 7.

DeShaun Foster gained 76 yards on 18 carries last week in place of Gore, who has rushed for 978 yards and six touchdowns in 13 games this season.
