Alex Smith cleared for non-contact drills
Alex Smith - QB - San Francisco 49ers
Nov. 14, 2012 - 5:30 PM ET

Alex Smith (concussion) has been cleared for non-contact drills.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Smith has passed his concussion tests. He's now on track to get in at least a limited session in Thursday's return to practice, and barring a setback, to start against Chicago. Don't drop Colin Kaepernick just yet if you're a Smith owner in a two-QB league, but plan on Smith being under center.
