Elevated from practice squad for Week 1 vs. Houston, signaling that Ty Johnson (listed as questionable) is unlikely to play. Gore Jr. had his third-consecutive strong preseason with the Bills, averaging 4.6 yards per carry on 26 attempts; the 24-year-old has yet to carry the ball in a regular-season game but was active for Buffalo's wild-card win over the Jaguars in January with one reception for six yards. His elevation hints he may factor into the offense against Houston to begin the 2026 regular season.

NegativeDepth ChartSep 1, 2026Buffalo Rumblings
Practice squad running back competing for elevation to active roster; has done everything possible to crack the 53-man roster but remains blocked by James Cook III, Ty Johnson, and Ray Davis on the depth chart. Head coach Joe Brady indicated Gore is capable and could be elevated via the new two-call-ups-per-week rule, stating: "just because a guy's not on your 53 right now doesn't mean he's not going to be playing for you Week 1." Brady emphasized that practice squad players must be ready for their opportunity and that some practice squad players are "above guys on the active roster" in his evaluation.

Frank Gore Jr. is on the Bills' practice squad but has done everything possible to crack the active roster; head coach Joe Brady indicated Gore could be elevated via the new two-call-ups-per-week rule and may play in Week 1 despite not being on the initial 53-man roster. Brady emphasized that practice squad players are evaluated alongside active roster players and some PS guys rank above active roster players on the depth chart, suggesting Gore has a realistic path to playing time.

PositiveRoleAug 28, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL
Gore Jr. totaled 72 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 15 touches against Pittsburgh, demonstrating well-roundedness across receiving, running, and pass protection. The source highlights his ability to make cornerbacks whiff on flat routes, knife through gaps between the tackles, and morph into a pass-protection wall. If Buffalo takes a precautionary short-term IR route with Ty Johnson to begin the season, the source believes Gore Jr. has done enough to earn an opportunity when games count.

Gore put on a clinic early in action against Pittsburgh, finishing with 10 rushes for 27 yards and 1 touchdown, adding 5 receptions (5 targets) for 45 yards. He proved capable as a receiver, similar in mold to Ray Davis. Late in the third quarter, Gore tore off a long gain downfield and turned inside to welcome defenders instead of running toward safety and out of bounds—a play that demonstrates his worth to the team. Gore is the type of player who gets better with more snaps, and the source notes everyone on the sideline and in the executive suite noticed that play.

NegativeRoleAug 22, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL
Gore Jr. fumbled on his lone kickoff return attempt and while he recovered his own fumble, it's still not a great look. He also dropped a pass on a screen attempt in the fourth quarter as he looked to run before he secured the grab. He once again looked like the slower, less explosive option when compared to Ian Wheeler, who made players miss in the backfield and displayed good hands and burst. Wheeler just looks like the superior option overall, as he does everything Gore Jr. can do but with much more burst and athleticism.
