Matt Maiocco of the CSN Bay Area reports that 49ers DE Justin Smith missed practice on Thursday and his status for Week 16 in “serious doubt.“
Smith suffered an elbow injury last weekend against the Patriots. With Smith out of the game, New England was able to start moving the ball consistently, so this could end up being a big advantage for the Seahawks heading into their matchup on Sunday.
Ricky Jean Francois would start in his place if he is indeed unable to suit up.
