Nfl Honors Grbac For Efforts

Compiled From Wire Services

Elvis Grbac was selected NFC offensive player of the week after completing 31 of 41 passes for 382 yards and four touchdowns in the San Francisco 49ers’ 44-20 win over Miami Monday night.

Other players honored were San Francisco kicker Dean Wilkens, in just his second week with the team; Philadelphia defensive end Mike Mamula; Neil O’Donnell of Pittsburgh; Seattle’s Robert Blackmon, and Denver’s Glyn Milburn.

The Buffalo Bills might be without former Eastern Washington University standout Kurt Schulz against New England this week while the free safety recovers from a deep thigh bruise.

The New York Jets signed ex-University of Idaho running back Sheriden May to their practice squad.

Illinois Gov. Jim Edgar sweetened the pot for keeping the Chicago Bears in Chicago, offering $28 million to improve the area around aging Soldier Field if the team agrees not to leave.
