MIAMI — Even though Frank Gore’s ironman streak is about to end, he wants to keep going.

The injured Miami Dolphins running back has decided against retirement and hopes to play a 15th NFL season next year, a person familiar with the situation said Friday. The person confirmed the decision to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The NFL’s leading active rusher suffered a season-ending sprained foot last week against Minnesota , but the injury won’t require surgery. The 35-year-old Gore has played in 126 consecutive games with 122 starts in a row.

Those streaks are the longest by an NFL offensive skill player, and they’ll end Sunday when Miami plays Jacksonville .

Last week Gore said he was uncertain whether he wanted to play next year. He signed a one-year contract in March with the Dolphins.
