San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula said that linebacker Aldon Smith would be held out of today's practice. The 49ers are holding their second day of mandatory minicamp today at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.
Tomsula stated that had this been a game day, Smith would be playing.
Yesterday, Smith injured toe when someone stepped on his right foot during practice. He watched the second half of practice from the sideline while Corey Lemonier filled in at linebacker.
Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee said that Smith appeared to be walking with a slight limp, but did not seem too concerned about the injury.

The San Francisco 49ers have updated pass rusher Dee Ford's status for Sunday's game against the New York Jets and ruled him "out" with a neck injury. The team had listed him on Friday as "questionable" before the downgrade.

A San Francisco 49ers player rarely suits up for a game without practicing during the days leading up to that game. George Kittle is a rare tight end, though. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that Kittle wouldn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. The tight end may not practice until Friday, and even that is not a certainty.
That doesn't mean the New York Jets won't have to game plan for him, though.
"Kittle, he's battling," Shanahan told reporters before Wednesday's practice. "We thought it would be alright. He woke up the next day a little sore. He fully expects to be there Sunday, like he always does. Just like he always plays through the game when it happens."
