49ERS: San Francisco added quarterback Alex Smith to their injury report Saturday, listing him as doubtful for today’s game against Arizona with another problem in his surgically repaired right shoulder. Shaun Hill will be the backup against the Cardinals. The 49ers didn’t specify what was wrong with Smith, only saying the injury occurred without contact during practice Friday. Smith, the former No. 1 overall draft pick, was expected to back up J.T. O’Sullivan, who beat out Smith for the starting job in training camp.
CARDINALS: Arizona placed center Al Johnson on injured reserve, sidelining him for the season. Johnson hurt his knee in training camp and had surgery in early August. The Cardinals also released safety Oliver Celestin.
COWBOYS: Dallas signed receiver Mike Jefferson off their practice squad, giving them a potential fourth receiver for their season opener.
BILLS: Buffalo Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters has ended his holdout and reported to the team. Bills spokesman Scott Berchtold said Peters reported Saturday and that questions about his physical and roster status won’t be answered until after today’s home game against Seattle. Peters won’t play against the Seahawks. Peters had offseason surgery to repair a sports hernia and is required to pass a team physical. He has three years left on his contract but began his holdout this spring in an attempt to force the Bills into restructuring his deal.
