DAVIE, Fla. — Running back Frank Gore has been placed on injured reserve by the Miami Dolphins because of a season-ending sprained foot.

Defensive tackle Kendrick Norton was signed to take Gore’s roster spot.

Gore, hurt in Sunday’s loss at Minnesota, leads the Dolphins with 722 yards rushing. He’s the NFL’s fourth all-time leading rusher with 14,478 yards.

Gore, 35, has played in 126 consecutive games and made 122 starts in a row, and both streaks are the longest by an NFL offensive skill player. He has said he’s uncertain whether he wants to play next year.
