Santa Clara, CA - San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore did not practice Thursday due to the death of his mother on Wednesday evening.Gore, who will remain with the team and play Sunday in St. Louis, will likely join his family after he plays against the Rams.'Frank was not here today. His mother passed yesterday, so we want to keep Frank and his family in our prayers,' said head coach Mike Nolan. 'He will make the trip this week. He had some family here with him prior to him finding out about his mother. He may practice tomorrow. He was here this morning and just had a tough go with it. I am concerned for Frank, not in reference to the game.'There is a good chance he will go to Miami after the game. Frank saw his mom, it's been a couple weeks now. It was important that he saw her at that time because Frank felt that if he didn't see her before the season, he may not get a chance to see her again. Frank feels that his mother would want him to do his job so to speak.'In San Francisco's season opening victory over Arizona this past Monday night, Gore rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown.© 2007 The Sports Network
