Aldon Smith, Ahmad Brooks limited in practice
Aldon Smith - LB - San Francisco 49ers
Feb. 2, 2013 - 12:20 PM ET

OLBs Aldon Smith (shoulder) and Ahmad Brooks (shoulder) were limited for the third consecutive day on Friday, and are listed as probable for Sunday's Super Bowl.

Smith has played all of the 49ers' 127 defensive snaps so far in the playoffs. While he hasn't recorded a single sack, Smith has remained a disruptive pass rusher. According to Pro Football Focus, Smith has racked up 12 pressures in the postseason. Brooks is also sackless in the playoffs, but has nine pressures and played all but eight of the Niners' defensive snaps. Both will play on Sunday and will have their hands full against a stingy Ravens offensive line that has yielded just four sacks this postseason.
