Grbac has started the past two games, both wins, in place of Young, who strained his groin Sept. 8 against St. Louis and aggravated it in San Francisco's next game two weeks later at Carolina. Seifert said Young had another good practice. He resumed working out with the team on Friday. ``He was upbeat and I think he's closing in on being ready to go,'' Seifert said. ``I don't have to make any announcements right now so I'll just monitor the thing and we'll have practice (Sunday) evening and the pregame warmup and we'll go from there.'' Meantime, the 49ers activated fullback William Floyd from the physically-unable-to-perform list and there remains a possibility he could play against the Packers.
