San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore has broken a bone in his right hand the first day of padded practice. Gore had over 1500 yards last year and set his goal to get 2000 this year. If he misses any time, Maurice Hicks or Michael Robinson could challenge for the starting job. Hicks has had most of his experience at kick returner. Robinson who was a rookie last year, got lots of experience as a goal line back as Gore had trouble holding on to the ball in the red zone. One guy not to count out is 6th round pick Thomas Clayton who is a physical freak but had some character issues at Kansas State. Clayton should probably make the team on special teams. Even though this injury could affect him early on in the season, Gore is still a good option as a no.1 fantasy back.
