49ers OLB Aldon Smith (shoulder surgery) has resumed lifting weights.

"Aldon is coming along," GM Trent Baalke said Wednesday. "He's probably not as far along (as Justin Smith). He's certainly getting back. ... I hate to put a percentage of it." The 49ers are taking things slow with their 23-year-old pass rusher, but he's expected to be ready for training camp.

Aldon Smith - LB - 49ers

49ers coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed OLB Aldon Smith (shoulder surgery) is expected to be ready for the beginning of training camp.

Harbaugh also believes Smith is beginning to become a more mature player and person. "This is just an observation, but he's changing," Harbaugh said. "You can see it in his face and his body. He's kind of going from that lad -- kind of a strong, very mature lad -- to a grown man. I think that's another good thing." Smith should be motivated by his down finish to an otherwise excellent 2012.

Aldon Smith - LB - 49ers

49ers OLB Aldon Smith underwent shoulder surgery for a torn labrum after the season.

Smith was listed on the injury report with a shoulder injury multiple times during the season, but never missed a game. After racking up 19.5 sacks in the first 13 games, Smith put up an 0-for over the last six, including the playoffs. Smith should be ready for training camp, but he'll take it easy this spring.

Aldon Smith - LB - 49ers

49ers OLB Aldon Smith hasn't recorded a sack since Week 14 of the regular season.

Smith had 19.5 sacks in the first 13 games of the year, making current his five-game drought somewhat fluky. "First off, in most of these games where Aldon hasn't gotten sacks, he has rushed well," DC Vic Fangio said. "Teams are throwing the ball quickly. He is getting a little bit more attention. I don't see it as an issue." The 49ers' ability to protect their vulnerable secondary with a strong pass rush will be one of the keys come Super Bowl Sunday.

49ers OLB Aldon Smith had two more sacks in the Week 14 win over the Dolphins, giving him 19.5 on the season.

Smith is closing in on the single-season record of 23 sacks, set by Michael Strahan in 2001. Remarkably, he is on track to set the mark in just his second NFL season. "I'm human, so it's going to cross my mind," Smith said. "The focus is putting in a complete game and playing as best I can."

Aldon Smith - LB - 49ers

49ers OLB Aldon Smith recorded 5.5 sacks against the Bears on Monday night in Week 11.

Smith absolutely abused Bears offensive linemen LT J'Marcus Webb and RT Gabe Carimi. He had no problem just simply throwing the two tackles out of the way, or if that wasn't the tactic of choice, Smith would just use his speed and run right around them. 23-year-old Smith now has 29 sacks in 26 career games and sits atop the leader-board with his 15 sacks this season. After playing in just over 50 percent of the defensive snaps as a rookie in 2011, Smith entered Week 11 as a full-time defensive player, participating in over 95 percent of the snaps. Those percentages are courtesy of Pro Football Focus.

OLB Aldon Smith (hip) might be held out of the rest of the 49ers' exhibition games.

The right hip bruise Smith sustained on Friday night isn't serious, but he'll sit out at least a week of practice. Barring a setback, IDP owners can still safely target the second-year pass-rushing specialist as he shifts into a three-down role.

Santa Clara, Calif. police have yet to identify a suspect in the stabbing of 49ers OLB Aldon Smith.

The 49ers have remained mum on the situation following an initial Saturday statement, but Smith sounds highly unlikely to miss time in training camp.

Aldon Smith - LB - 49ers

49ers OLB Aldon Smith was stabbed in a Friday evening incident at a house party in Santa Clara (CA), but escaped with only "minor injuries."

"We are in contact with Aldon and thankful that his injuries were not more serious and that he is recovering comfortably," the team said in a statement. "The 49ers are also in communication with local authorities as they gather information regarding the incident." According to CSN Bay Area, Smith was at a party where two other people were shot, but neither victim suffered life-threatening injuries. Smith's role in the incident remains unclear. The off-the-field issue is Smith's second of the offseason after a January DUI arrest on Miami Beach.

Aldon Smith - LB - 49ers

49ers OLB Aldon Smith is not expected to drop into coverage very often this season.

Even though Smith is transitioning from pass-rush specialist to every-down outside linebacker, the Niners aren't stupid. They know that the second-year man is already one of the game's best sack artists and projects to struggle as a pass defender. We wouldn't be surprised if Smith eclipses last season's 14 sacks.
