Alex Smith (ankle) practiced for the third straight day on Friday though he still isn't certain to play in Week 13, according to The Pewter Report. "Alex Smith did more today than he did yesterday, which is a good sign," said HC Jon Gruden.Smith hasn't played since November 2nd and his absence has allowed Jerramy Stevens role in the offense to grow. If you have to start a Bucs tight end this week, look Stevens way.

News: Bucs coach Jon Gruden said Friday that TE Alex Smith's "status for the game obviously is very, very questionable" after he didn't practice on Friday. Smith is bothered by an ankle injury. "We've been a two-tight end, three-tight end operation, that's been a big part of our passing game, certainly, our pass protection, our running game," Gruden said. "And Alex Smith, as you know, has been the one tight end that has been our starter and has been our in-on-every-down type of guy for us. So it's a big loss for us. During the bye week it was hard to even conjure a game plan because we didn't know if we were going to have him or have a back ready to go. But we're excited to play. We've made some adjustments, and we still have a double-tight end set and we'll move on and do the best we can." [...]

News: The San Francisco Chronicle reports QB Alex Smith could return to the 49ers next year if he's willing to take a pay cut. Smith is due $9.6 million next season, which is a lot of money for a non-starter. Smith recently had shoulder surgery to correct problems related to his 2007 injury. He has been on injured reserve since the summer. "The surgery went well," GM Scot McCloughan said. "He should be back throwing 100 percent by January, which is really good. But discussions have not taken place between us." Asked if Smith could be part of the 49ers in 2009, McCloughan said, "Sure, he could be. The key thing is it's got to make sense for both sides. I fully think he's going to be a good quarterback in the NFL. They're hard to come by. You never count anyone out that you think is going to be a good quarterback." [...]

Alex Smith may return to the 49ers in 2009 as the club is yet to rule out the possibility, according to the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat.Smith is slated to make $9.625 million next season, so he would likely have to agree to terminate that contract to remain with the club. He will miss the remainder of this season while recovering from surgery to repair a fractured bone in his throwing shoulder. Smith has failed to live up to high expecatations as a No. 1 overall draft pick, and would likely be best suited by moving on with a fresh start with a new team.
