Gore ailing but is expected to play

Coach Mike Nolan said he expects Frank Gore will play Sunday against Seattle, although the standout running back could miss some practice as a precaution.

Gore is coming off a big game -- and a concussion.

``He said he felt a little lightheaded, but I think he'll be fine,'' Nolan said Monday.

Gore rushed for 159 yards Sunday, including a 61-yard touchdown run that set the tone for the 49ers' 19-13 upset at Detroit. He rushed for only 11 yards in the second half, though, after suffering what Nolan called a mild concussion.

Gore, like the rest of the players, had the day off Monday and was unavailable for comment. A team spokesman said the running back went through a routine checkup as a precaution and that all indications are he will play Sunday against Seattle.
