The Bills signed Gore to a reserve/future contract Monday.
The undrafted rookie from Southern Mississippi spent his 2024 campaign with the Bills' practice squad after failing to make the active roster in late August. Gore was elevated to the active roster for Buffalo's Week 6 win over the Jets but did not play a single snap. He's now expected to compete for a reserve role in the Bills' backfield this summer, aiming to make his regular-season NFL debut in 2025.

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.
