The Buffalo Bills are calling up the son of an NFL legend for Monday Night Football against the New York Jets.
Running back Frank Gore Jr., the son of former NFL running back Frank Gore, is being elevated from the practice squad for Monday’s game.
Gore Jr. played at Southern Miss from 2020-23 and signed with Buffalo as an undrafted free agent in the spring. He didn’t make the 53-man roster but signed with the team’s practice squad after final cutdowns.
Now, Gore Jr. will get his chance to play in the NFL in primetime and follow in his father’s footsteps as a professional running back.
