The Chiefs placed Gore (thumb) on injured reserve Tuesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Gore presumably picked up the thumb injury during Saturday's preseason game, but the specifics of the issue remain unclear. Barring an injury settlement, Gore will miss the remainder of the 2022 campaign. Gore was never supposed to garner a major role in Kansas City's backfield, but his absence could make it easier for Ronald Jones to make the initial 53-man roster.
