There has been a consensus reached that San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith needs treatment for his substance-abuse problems, but he first must get through this weekend, active as a player, NFL and NFL Players Association sources said.
Smith, 23, was briefly jailed Friday morning after being involved in a single-vehicle crash around 7 a.m. in San Jose. He was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
League officials confirmed that under the collective bargaining agreement and the league's substance-abuse policy, the 49ers could not suspend Smith. Even though commissioner Roger Goodell has emphatically stressed that DUI violations are high-level concerns, he also cannot suspend Smith under the personal conduct policy because the most recent case still must be adjudicated.
"He's fast," one source said of Miller, "but he's not that fast."
