San Francisco: Aldon Smith, Niners’ linebacker, was stabbed at a house party in Santa Clara County, south of San Francisco Saturday morning, according to The Sacramento Bee.
The incident has been confirmed by the 49ers but they did not give the details, and just mentioned that the injuries are ‘minor’.
“We are in contact with Aldon, and thankful that his injuries were not more serious and that he is recovering comfortably,” general manager Trent Baalke said in a statement.
“The 49ers are also in communication with local authorities as they gather information regarding the incident, and will reserve further comment at this time.”
Smith, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2011 draft, appeared in all 16 games as a rookie last season, registering 14 sacks and 37 tackles. He also forced two fumbles and defensed four passes.
