Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore reportedly will miss the remainder of the season after spraining his foot during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the news Monday. On Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported X-rays were negative and Gore was diagnosed with a foot sprain.

Gore limped off the field and was eventually carted to the locker room with the injury. He finished with 14 yards on five carries.

Despite being a 35-year-old running back, Gore has remained a stable presence in the backfield throughout his career. He has run for at least 960 yards in each of the past seven seasons.

While Gore is no longer the star he was during his prime with the San Francisco 49ers, in 2016 he became the Indianapolis Colts' first 1,000-yard rusher since 2007.

The Dolphins signed Gore away from the Colts in the offseason. The five-time Pro Bowler has served as the No. 1 option. Third-year running back Kenyan Drake is still receiving a significant workload with 143 touches entering the week.

Gore has been used as Miami's starter all season and has been excellent, entering the week with 708 yards on 151 carries.

After missing the playoffs with a 6-10 record last season, the Dolphins remain in the postseason race at 7-7 through 14 games—and Gore's professionalism and production have been a big reason. His absence on the field is going to be felt, but Drake's emergence as the No. 1 guy will lessen the blow.
