Less than three months after suffering a season-ending hip fracture, 49ers RB Frank Gore said he’s completely healed, and he’s been cleared to begin running Feb. 28.
"I will be better," Gore told CSN Bay Area. "I will take it one day at a time. I'm just happy to say that my injury healed perfectly. And right now I'm trying to get some strength, and in another week start running." Before he got hurt, Gore was having a strong season, gaining more than 1,300 yards of offense while scoring five touchdowns.
New San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh has said he wants to get backup RB Anthony Dixon more playing time, but he also realizes he can’t place Gore on the bench very much. Because, frankly, that would be rather foolish.
