In case you missed it (a couple nuggets made the newspaper but didn’t get to the website), safety John Wendling was fined $7,875 for his hit on 49ers quarterback Alex Smith last week.
Smith slid to the ground as Wendling was about to hit him. Wendling’s elbow caught Smith in the head. Wendling was not penalized on the play.
Also, cornerback Jacob Lacey was limited in practice Friday with a toe injury. His status for Sunday is questionable. Defensive tackle Corey Williams (knee) was also listed as questionable.
