49ers Young May Play Monday

Steve Young’s ailing passing shoulder is improving rapidly since he underwent arthroscopic surgery, and the San Francisco 49ers quarterback could be available for backup duty Monday night at Miami.

Coach George Seifert said Elvis Grbac would start against the Dolphins but that Young threw impressively and without pain during Friday’s practice and he might be used off the bench if the need arises.

“Miami better be prepared for him, basically.” Seifert said. “He looked stronger and feels good. He threw the ball deep as well as intermediate.” xxxx
