The Bills are re-signing Gore (knee) to the practice squad Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Gore dealt with a knee injury down the stretch of training camp, but it looks like the undrafted rookie out of Southern Miss no longer has an injury designation. The clear top man in Buffalo's backfield is James Cook, with Ray Davis and Ty Johnson locked in for the top reserve spots. Darrynton Evans (hamstring) will also handle a depth role once back from IR, so Gore lacks a clear path to activation from the practice squad, barring injuries, but he certainly showed enough during the preseason to warrant a chance to continue his development.

The Bills are re-signing Gore (knee) to the practice squad Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Gore dealt with a knee injury down the stretch of training camp, but it looks like the undrafted rookie out of Southern Miss no longer has an injury designation. The clear top man in Buffalo's backfield is James Cook, with Ray Davis and Ty Johnson locked in for the top reserve spots. Darrynton Evans (hamstring) will also handle a depth role once back from IR, so Gore lacks a clear path to activation from the practice squad, barring injuries, but he certainly showed enough during the preseason to warrant a chance to continue his development.
The Bills waived Gore (knee) on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The son of longtime NFL running back Frank Gore, Gore went undrafted out of Southern Miss back in April before signing with the Bills. He was impressive during the preseason, rushing for 163 yards and one touchdown on 33 carries while adding four grabs for an additional 16 yards as a pass-catcher. It wasn't enough to claim a 53-man roster spot behind James Cook and fourth-round rookie Ray Davis, but there's a good chance Gore is either claimed or lands a job on a practice squad.
Gore is scheduled to undergo X-rays after injuring his knee during Saturday's preseason game against Carolina, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Gore was having a tremendous outing in the Bills' preseason finale, racking up 101 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries before suffering the knee injury. He has been competing against Ray Davis, Ty Johnson and Darrynton Evans (hamstring) for the backup running back job behind James Cook. The results of the X-rays will be a crucial indication of whether Gore ends up making Buffalo's final 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp.
Gore (knee) is out for the rest of Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers. The undrafted rookie was having himself a day before leaving late in the game, carrying the ball 18 times for 101 yards and a touchdown before exiting. Gore is fighting for a roster spot on a thin running back depth chart behind starter James Cook. The son of longtime NFL back Frank Gore recorded 4,022 yards and 26 touchdowns during a four-year college career at Southern Miss. Making matters worse for the Bills, fellow running back Darrynton Evans suffered a hamstring injury prior to Gore's injury and also had to leave the contest.
