Wind that topped 20 mph sent the 49ers to the New Orleans Saints' indoor practice facility Wednesday for their 95-minute session.

All 53 San Francisco players were on the field, according to the pool report, including tight end Garrett Celek, who missed practice time last week with a foot injury. He practiced Wednesday without limitation.

Asked for specifics on Smith's injury, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said: "I don't get into what those guys have. If they want to give that information, that's fine. I always feel uncomfortable saying what a player has."
