Defensive tackle Justin Smith went through limited practice again Thursday and is on track to return to action Saturday night against the Green Bay Packers in an NFC divisional-round game.
Smith missed the final two games of the regular season with a partially torn left triceps tendon when a bone spur, containing a segment of the tendon, was detached.
Limited participation: CB Tarell Brown (shoulder), S Dashon Goldson (shoulder), LB Clark Haggans (shoulder), RB Bruce Miller (shoulder), LB Aldon Smith (shoulder), DT Justin Smith (elbow, triceps) and DT Will Tukuafu (neck).
Full participation: LB Navorro Bowman (shoulder), TE Garrett Celek (foot), LB Tavares Gooden (ribs), G Mike Iupati (shoulder), CB Carlos Rogers (knee) and LB Patrick Willis (shoulder).
