Defensive lineman Justin Smith will be expected to play his first game since suffering his triceps injury in Week 15 against the New England Patriots. He was limited in practice for the entire week with a brace on his left arm.
Harbaugh said that doctors will have the final say in whether Smith will play on Saturday, but he said he has seen improvement every day.
"The player knows his body the best, but the doctors have final decision," Harbaugh said on Justin Smith's injury. "They’re not going to just let a guy go out and play if he can’t protect himself, or could severely make it worse than what it already is. That’s a general rule of thumb. God willing and the creek don’t rise, he’s going to play."
