Frank Gore fractured his right hip in San Francisco's Monday night win over Arizona, according to a report by Mindi Bach of Comcast SportsNet Bay Area. The NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reported that Gore will miss the rest of the 2010 season. (Update: Gore has been placed on injured reserve by the 49ers.)Gore rushed four times for 43 yards on the 49ers' opening possession, then headed to the locker room with members of San Francisco's training staff. He came back for one carry on the team's next possession -- a 9-yard run -- then hobbled to the sidelines and did not return to action.
Brian Westbrook filled in admirably for Gore on Monday night, carrying the ball 23 times for 136 yards and a touchdown in the 27-6 victory. Third-stringer Anthony Dixon added 54 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. That duo will likely split time in the 49ers' backfield if Gore is, in fact, done for the year.
