Greene Does Not Practice but Will Play
Carolina linebacker Kevin Greene, the NFL sacks leader with 14 1/2, was held out of practice because of a sore shoulder but is expected to play in Sunday’s divisional playoff game against Dallas.
Greene bruised his right shoulder Wednesday when he and a receiver landed awkwardly after diving for a pass, Coach Dom Capers said.
