There were some questions about Gore's condition yesterday when he said he sustained a concussion while blocking Cardinals defender Chike Okeafor. But the 49ers said Gore had a neck strain.
Yesterday he described soreness at the base of the back of his neck. Today he said the soreness is moving further down. He is receiving ice, stim and massage to "try to get it loosened up."
Gore said he no longer has any headaches. "I'll be fine to play on Sunday," he said.

I know althletes are supposed to be tough guys, but I hope Frank takes better care of himself. it'd be tragic if he went ala Young and gets his head knocked out of the game forever. As irreplaceable as Gore is on the team right now it'd be bad if He got himself into a really bad situation especially since he doesn't have a stud blocker like Larry Allen anymore.
Gore takes a lot of punishment the way he runs. He is an amazing athlete. Our best player, use him wisely.
