Unrivaled service
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP)—Steve
Young’s latest concussion could keep
him on the sidelines this week, and
he acknowledged Wednesday that he
can’t take many more shots to the
head and continue playing football.
The two-time NFL MVP who led
the 49ers to a Super Bowl tide in 1994
sustained his third concussion in 10
months in San Francisco’s season
opening loss Sunday at Tampa Bay.
After an examination on Tuesday,
Young’s neurologist recommended
the quarterback sit out Sunday’s
game at St. Louis.
Young, who was kneed in the head
by Bugs linebacker Hardy Nickerson
in the second quarter, came back to
play the final quarter against Tampa
Bay and initially was listed as proba
ble for the St. Louis game.
He was downgraded to question
able Wednesday. With backup Jeff
Brohm hampered by a chipped bone
in the middle finger of his passing
hand along with a lower back injuiy,
all signs point to first-round draft
pick Jim Druckenmiller making his
first start at quarterback for the 49ers.
Offensive coordinator Marty
Mornhinweg said the decision on
who will start at quarterback hasn’t
been made yet and described both
Young and Brohm as “day to day.”
However, Druckenmiller took all
the snaps with the first team at the
49ers’ walkthrough on Wednesday
with Young taking part in some scout
team plays.
Before heading to the practice
field, Young acknowledged the re
peated concussions concerned him.
“I know this cannot continue and
I can’t keep getting hit in the head and
continue to play football,” Young said.
“But I still feel like I want to play and
there’s a lot of professional opinion,
that with rest, you can continue to
play. That’s kind of where we are now.'
Young said he took the recom
mendation of neurologist Dr. Joseph
Lacy seriously.
"I feel good,” Young said. “I feel
like I would do almost anything to
help the 49ers win. Certainly, as you
know, we’ve talked about this, at
some points ad nauseum, about how
concerned we are and how con-
cerned I am.
“I’ve talked to old 49ers, old col
lege friends, coaches, family and
everyone else trying to get a handle
on exactly what we’re facing. Andyou
know the concern for me is not only
for just for the near future but forray
longterm health. Those are key issues
for me. I intend to have another great
career doing something else and I'm
going to need all my senses to do
that. So it’s a concern of mine.”
Injuries have forced Young to miss
all or parts of 17 of his past 36 games
since 1995. He had two concussions
in a t hree-game span last season and
' also has dealt with a neck sprain, a
shoulder injuiy that required surgery,
a groin strain and three cracked ribs.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rod
Strickland of the Washington Wiz
ards was released from jail
Wednesday after his arrest on
charges of drunken driving and
disorderly conduct.
The 31-year-old point guard ap
peared briefly in court and faces tri
al Jan. 21.
Strickland’s lawyer, Billy Martin,
said his client had been treated “un
fairly” and should not have been
jailed overnight.
“I think he was charged as a re
sult of driving an expensive Mer
cedes- Benz,” said Martin, adding
Strickland will plead innocent. “...
He was charged because of who he
is. Most people who are arrested
and charged with DUI or refusing
to take a Breathalizer are released
from the station.”
Police said Strickland was was
stopped early Wednesday after
making an illegal left turn in
downtown Washington and be
came a “little disorderly.” He is
also charged with failing to show
his driver’s license. Strickland re
fused a sobriety test.
In court, Strickland, wearing a
gray, short-sleeved shirt and blue
pants, stood with his hands clasped
behind his back. When asked if he
understood the charges, he re
sponded “yes” in a low voice.
