Bills Waive Son Of Legendary NFL Running Back on Tuesday

The Buffalo Bills made a notable roster move on Tuesday afternoon, parting ways with the son of an NFL legend, Frank Gore Jr.

The son of Frank Gore, a former Buffalo Bill himself, Gore Jr. played for four seasons with Southern Mississippi in college before signing with the Bills as an undrafted free agent. In college, Gore Jr. rushed for over 4,000 yards and 26 touchdowns in his four seasons.

Gore Jr. got a great opportunity in the preseason with the Bills, rushing 33 times for 163 yards and one touchdown. However, in an RB room that also contains James Cook, Ray Davis, and Ty Johnson, there was no room for Gore Jr. ahead of the 53-man cutdown on Tuesday.

After his impressive preseason, and because of his family lineage, Gore will likely remain on the radar for a number of NFL teams during this last week of the preseason. If he does not find a spot on another roster, Gore Jr. will undoubtedly be able to sign with a practice squad during the season.
