NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora reports Gore is suffering from a high ankle sprain and is likely to miss at least the next two games, according to a league source.

Gore limped off the field after his only carry of the game, a 4-yard run on the first play of the 49ers’ second series of the game. He was later carted off the sideline to the locker room, and X-rays revealed no broken bones, according to the team. Gore had been limited in practice during the week after injuring the ankle late in last week’s game against the Seahawks, and was listed as probable for today’s game. Coffee carried the load with Gore out, rushing for 54 yards on 25 carries. Cofee should continue to roll as the primary option until Gore returns.
