49ers' Harbaugh: NFL giving no indication on when to expect Aldon Smith decision
As the NFL regular season draws closer, the San Francisco 49ers are still in the dark regarding the severity of linebacker Aldon Smith's potential suspension.
During a press conference on Friday, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh made it perfectly clear that the league has given no indication on when a decision is expected to come down (via Pro Football Talk).
Q: Have you gotten any indication that Aldon Smith’s decision would come down very soon? I mean, you’re coming up on regular season now. Has the NFL indicated to you guys that there will be a decision imminently on what his suspension may or may not be?
A: “I have not gotten any indication.”
Q: Are you sure ...
A: “I’m sure I haven’t gotten any indication, yes.”
Q: No, that was another question, I’m sorry. I’ve got a follow up.
A: “Follow up.”
Q: Is it going to happen before the regular season starts?
A: “I don’t know.”
Q: Wow. Shouldn’t you?
A: “I haven’t had any indication, so, I don’t know ... My crystal ball, I don’t have it.”
