Gore played nine offensive snaps and four special-teams snaps in the Bills' 41-31 win over the Lions on Thursday.
Gore did not appear in the box score, but the running back was a frequent pass blocker for Josh Allen in the Bills' offense. The practice-squad elevation also participated in kickoff and punt coverage as he filled the No. 3 running back in Ty Johnson's (hamstring) absence.

Bills' Frank Gore: Elevated to active roster
Rotowire
The Bills elevated Gore from the practice squad to the active roster for Thursday's game versus Detroit.
With Ty Johnson (hamstring) unavailable for Sunday's 36-31 win over the Texans, Gore was elevated to the active roster for that contest. He logged 11 offensive snaps, though he finished with just one carry for three yards. Gore's workload likely won't be much different against the Lions, so his elevation from the practice squad is mostly for depth purposes and seems to strongly suggest Johnson is in line to miss another game Thursday.

Frank Gore: Reverts to practice squad
Rotowire
Gore reverted to the practice squad after recording one carry for three yards in Buffalo's 36-31 win over Houston on Sunday, according to the NFL's official transaction log.
The running back played on 11 offensive snaps and four special-teams snaps. Gore was elevated for Week 1 because Ty Johnson was dealing with a hamstring injury. If Johnson can play in Week 2, it seems unlikely that Gore will be elevated again.

Frank Gore: Back on Bills' practice squad
Rotowire
Gore signed with Buffalo's practice squad Monday, Alec White and Mike Maynard of the team's official site report.
Gore has spent his entire career with Buffalo to this point, but he's yet to log any regular-season action. The Southern Miss product did, however, have a limited role in both of Buffalo's playoff contests last year. Gore seems likely to spend most of the 2026 campaign on the practice squad unless injuries hit Buffalo's running back corps.

Frank Gore: Back with Bills' practice squad
Rotowire
Gore reverted to the Bills' practice squad Wednesday.
The rookie was elevated to Buffalo's active roster Monday to provide depth at running back with James Cook (toe) missing the Bills' 23-20 win over the Jets. Gore went unused in the Week 6 win, but he could be elevated again for a Week 7 matchup with the Titans if Cook is once again sidelined.

Frank Gore: Gets spot on practice squad
Rotowire
The Bills re-signed Gore (knee) to their practice squad Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
Gore dealt with a knee injury late in the preseason, but 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 injured reserve, so Gore lacks a clear path to activation from the practice squad, barring injuries. Still, he showed enough during the preseason to warrant a chance to continue his development.

Frank Gore: Cut by Buffalo
Rotowire
The Bills waived Gore (knee) on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The son of longtime NFL running back Frank Gore, the Southern Miss product went undrafted in April before signing with the Bills. Gore was impressive during the preseason, rushing for 163 yards and one touchdown on 33 carries while adding four grabs for an additional 16 yards. 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.

Bills' Frank Gore: Getting X-rays on knee
Rotowire
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 factor toward Gore's chances of making Buffalo's final 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp.

He led the team in rushing all four seasons and earned an invite to the East-West Shrine Bowl, where Gore was named Offensive MVP.
