The Facts:
Following up on a previous item. ... Smith sustained a significant sprain to his left AC joint that forced him out of action early in the third quarter. Smith wore his left arm in a sling after the game. It is similar -- but perhaps not as severe -- as the grade 3 separation he experienced in 2007 to his throwing shoulder.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Smith will likely undergo an MRI examination in London (the 49ers play the Broncos there next weekend), but he should not be out of action for too long. After all, the injury is to his non-throwing shoulder. ... Meanwhile, HC Mike Singeltary did not appear to be all that comfortable with David Carr under center after Smith left. In fact, Singletary said he would look at the film before deciding what the 49ers' next move would be at QB. Veteran Troy Smith is the No. 3 quarterback. And the 49ers will consider promoting practice-squad quarterback Nate Davis to the 53-man roster, Singletary said. ... Stay tuned.
