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.

Javon Hargrave, this year's prize free-agent addition, and savvy veteran Arik Armstead are in the middle. The latter spoke highly of Jackson's progress, the result of hard offseason work.
"Man, I'm a proud vet today," Armstead said on his new "Third and Long" podcast. "Drake Jackson, year two, man, this kid is extremely talented. He worked extremely hard this offseason to prepare himself for this season, and it's
