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.

Sore-ribbed quarterback Steve Young took only four snaps and didn’t throw a pass during practice at Tempe, Ariz., but is still expected to start for San Francisco in the NFC playoff game Saturday at Green Bay.

Tight end Brent Jones was held out of the workout but is expected to start the playoff game. Jones was taken off the practice field Wednesday after twisting a knee.
