INDIANAPOLIS -- When Frank Gore hears the list, he shakes his head.Two weeks ago, he passed Thurman Thomas.Last week, it was Franco Harris.This week in London, the Indianapolis Colts running back needs 88 yards to move past Marcus Allen, Edgerrin James, Marshall Faulk and Jim Brown on the leagues career rushing list.If Gore stays healthy and productive through the rest of this season, he just might catch Tony Dorsett and Eric Dickerson, too.Gore never dreamed he would be mentioned in the same breath as so many all-time greats or be able to potentially pass seven Hall of Fame running backs in one season.James is the only one of the eight who hasnt been inducted, though he is the Colts career rushing leader and former University of Miami player, just like Gore.Man, thats a blessing, especially coming out of college as a third-round (draft) pick, Gore said Tuesday.A lot of people said I wouldnt be here long enough to do something like that. Eighty-eight yards? I hope it happens this weekend.At age 33, Gore doesnt spend much time reflecting on milestones, and though he knows hes No. 13 all time, he couldnt tell you his rushing total was 12,225 yards or that his 83 consecutive starts are the most of any back in the league.See Gore would rather watch film, prep for the Colts longest trip of the season and make sure Indy (1-2) takes advantage of its chance to get to .500 with a win over the winless Jacksonville Jaguars so he gets another shot to get the most elusive prize of all -- a Super Bowl ring.Teammates have learned to expect nothing less from Gore, who refuses to let age, opponents or anything else get in his way.Frank is definitely a different kind of guy from the ones Ive played with before, running back Jordan Todman said. Hes probably the most veteran back Ive played with, and the marks hes made on this game are unbelievable.At times, Gore has made the hard work look easy.After running for 608 yards as a rookie in 2005 with San Francisco, the 49ers strong offensive line cleared the way for Gore to top the 1,000-yard mark eight times over the next nine years. He missed by 147 yards in 2010, when he was limited to 11 games.When coach Jim Harbaugh departed after the 2014 seasons and the 49ers appeared to be in rebuild mode, Gore decided to leave the only NFL home he had known.Initially, he agreed to sign with Philadelphia then changed his mind and joined former college teammate Andre Johnson in Indy, a team many pegged as a title contender.But 2015 didnt go according to plan.Injuries forced the Colts to shuffle their offensive line and the predictable struggles led to a series of injuries that knocked Andrew Luck out of nine games.The running lanes were smaller and closed quicker than expected, too, and as a result, Gore finished a frustrating season with a career low of 3.7 yards per carry, 967 yards and out of the playoffs.Im not over it. Im not going to be over it until I do it, Gore said in May when asked about coming up short of 1,000 yards.To go after my goals again, to be the one to get the 100 yards that they didnt have in years, to get that 1,000-plus yards.Now I got another opportunity to do it so from here on out I just have to start taking care of my body, eating healthy, start training to get myself ready to try to go get it.So Gore has embarked on a personal mission to become the teams first 1,000-yard runner since 2007 and end a league-high 53 consecutive-game streak without a 100-yard runner, a streak that almost ended last week against San Diego.Gore ran 13 times for 70 yards in the first half, but finished with 21 carries for 82 yards.If Gore ends the drought Sunday, he will also leapfrog four big names on the career rushing list including Jim Brown (12,312) at No. 9, and put Gore within striking distance of two more household names, Dorsett (12,739) and Dickerson (13,259), still the NFLs single-season rushing leader.Pretty amazing, coach Chuck Pagano said. You think of Jim Brown, you think of one of the best if not the very best to play that position.Its a testament to Frank, his worth ethic, his passion, his durability, his reliability. You can check all the boxes next to his name. Great career.Game notes Indy put outside linebacker Trent Cole on injured reserve Tuesday. Pagano said he aggravated his back injury Sunday and will likely need surgery.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Authentic Brandon Morrow Jersey .

AMHERST, Mass. -- On the same day Philadelphia 76ers No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons had foot surgery, former lottery pick Joel Embiid finally made his NBA debut after missing his first two seasons because of foot injuries. The 7-foot-2 Embiid scored six points, grabbed four rebounds and blocked two shots while playing 13 minutes in the Sixers 92-89 victory in their preseason opener against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday.It felt great, Embiid said after the game. It was one of my goals. Im happy I crossed it off the list.I was pretty nervous, he admitted. I had trouble breathing, but once I got that first bucket, everything slowed down. I started seeing the game easier.Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said prior to the game that he planned to limit Embiid to about 12 minutes. All of Embiids minutes came in the first half.For his first game, when you watch him,, you can see what can be with him, Brown said.dddddddddddd.Embiid missed his first three shots from the field, then scored on a turnaround in the lane with 1:18 remaining in the first quarter. He then knocked down a 23-foot jumper with one second left in the quarter. He made a pair of free throws in the second quarter.Offensively, I was pretty bad, Embiid said. Ive got to work on a lot of stuff. But I thought I was pretty good defensively.Embiids most recent game came back on March 1, 2014, when he was a freshman at Kansas. He was selected with the third overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft, but he missed the past two NBA seasons because of foot injuries.Embiid had surgery on his right foot in June 2014 and again in August 2015.
