Defensive tackle Justin Smith will require three months of rehabilitation after undergoing surgery this week to repair a partially torn triceps, a league source told CSNBayArea.com.
The 49ers need to get Smith healthy. He's an integral part of the defense. The team also needs to start working their defensive front though a bit more of a rotation. Not only will this help keep players fresh, it will also accelerate their development and give the 49ers greater depth.
