Contrary to earlier reports, the San Francisco 49ers have ruled starting quarterback Alex Smith out for tonight’s Monday Night Football game against the Chicago Bears. Smith suffered a concussion in last week’s overtime draw with the St. Louis Rams, and will sit this one out tonight. Collin Kaepernick will get the start in his place. Smith did not get clearance to return just one week after suffering the concussion, although there were earlier reports surfacing that said Smith would be available for tonight’s key NFC battle, but that will not be the case. The 49ers will look to remain in the hunt for a first round bye without their starting quarterback. This game will now be a battle of back up quarterbacks who are filling in for the incumbents who were both concussed last week. Jason Campbell will start for the Bears, as Jay Cutler also did not receive clearance to play after suffering his concussion last Sunday night in a home loss to the Houston Texans. Smith was able to practice...

Alex Smith's status still up in air

Via AP on Fox  |  November 17, 2012
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith practiced again on Saturday, however his availability is still uncertain for the game against the Chicago Bears.

No long-term answer in Niners' QB debate

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  November 17, 2012
Even as Alex Smith takes the first snap for the 49ers Monday night in Chicago, the debate over who should be the starting quarterback is far from over. In fact, that is not even the big question for a team that wants more than a mere starter. What the 49ers are seeking is the next franchise quarterback. Following a week where a concussion led to discussion, if not controversy...

49ers QB Alex Smith Goes Through Fourth Straight Practice In No-Contact Jersey

Via GridironFans.com  |  November 17, 2012
For the fourth straight day, Alex Smith is practicing in a black jersey, which suggests that he's playing on Monday but doesn't quite clinch it. Unlike the Bears, who declared concussed starter Jay Cutler out for Monday's game, the 49ers haven't said for sure whether Smith will play. Jim Harbaugh on Friday said that Smith continues to show progress but stopped short...

Niners blast Bears to turn showdown into rout

Via sfo.scout.com  |  November 19, 2012
As Alex Smith stood on the sideline with a concussion, San Francisco's potential quarterback of the future went to work - and fast. Strong-armed fill-in Colin Kaepernick made all the right throws, looking every bit a capable NFL No. 1 as the 49ers whipped the Chicago Bears 32-7 in a Monday night NFC showdown at Candlestick Park that quickly turned into a lopsided rout for the home team.

MNF Preview – Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers

Via RotoAsk  |  November 19, 2012
  Late entry for tonight’s MNF matchup between the Chicago Bears (7-2) and the San Francisco 49ers (6-3-1).  Marred as the ‘Backup Bowl’, the headlines for tonight’s game are focused on concussed QB’s, rather than a defensive battle of epic proportions. Early this morning, Alex Smith was ruled out of action, due to the concussion he suffered last week against St. Louis...

Bears-49ers Live Blog, Second Half

Via Kissing Suzy Kolber  |  November 19, 2012
That’ll be just about it for Alex Smith as starter for the 49ers. I have a feeling that Harbaugh already has plans to shove him down the stairs later this week. Then the sweepstakes begins for the fan base to be disappointed that their teams signs him to lead their offense in free agency. Gruden’s man crush is evident. At one point, he gushed, “You can call any play you can...

49ers teach Bears — and us — lesson

Via Fox Sports  |  November 20, 2012
It takes more than talent and schemes to be in the elite in the NFL -- in all sports, really. There's a certain body language, too. You have to try to take something. You have to reach out. You have to lean forward. Otherwise, you're just covering up and asking to be hit. Or you're the guy driving 45 mph down the middle lane, not trying to get anywhere so much as just...

Aldon Smith’s Causing So Much Devastation to Quarterbacks He’s Earned Title as NFL’s New Sack King

Via NESN.com  |  November 21, 2012
The quarterback sack is a storied art dating back to days of Deacon Jones in the 1960s. Jones not only helped establish the importance of the play, with his 173.5 career sacks over 13 NFL seasons. But the “Secretary of Defense,” as Jones was notoriously known during his playing days, is also credited for coining the term. Jones use of the expression wasn’t to merely make it...

Monday Night concussions

Via In The Neutral Zone  |  November 19, 2012
It’s the marquee Monday Night matchup of the season thus far: the 7-2 Chicago Bears, led by quarterback Jay Cutler, travelling to San Francisco to take on the 6-2-1 host 49ers, led by quarterback Alex Smith.   What a game! The Bears, the leaders in the NFC North, feature a take-no-prisoners defense that leads the league in takeaways. Their offense is inconsistent, but the...

Via Bay Sports Nut  |  November 20, 2012
After Colin Kaepernick’s masterful Week 11 start against the Bears, should he remain the starting QB for the 49ers? Jim Harbaugh is going with the hot hand — something Alex Smith possesses as well.
