Jim Tomsula eases fears over severity of Aldon Smith foot injury

San Francisco 49ers' Aldon Smith has not suffered a serious foot injury, says head coach Jim Tomsula.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith suffered a foot injury in training yesterday.

The 25-year-old is not expected to miss much of the California side's training camp, but head coach Jim Tomsula admitted that they will take precautions.

He told CSN Bay Area: "He got it stepped on. He had it stepped on earlier in OTAs. So then it got banged again yesterday, that's all. It's aggravated. We're not going to push it. He's got the ice bags on and there's really nothing else, just an ice bag.

"If it would be something in the season, we'd play right through it."

Smith was the seventh pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.
