Aldon Smith denied that he was 'jumped' while outside a restaurant in Columbia, Missouri.
The San Francisco 49ers are on their bye week.
On Thursday morning, Ashley Zavala, a television reporter for the NBC affiliate in Columbia, said on Twitter that Smith was “jumped.”
On Thursday afternoon, Smith said, via Twitter: “Want to clear up rumors of me getting jumped, I’m ok and doing well! Como! I missed you. Go Tigers!!”
A 49ers spokesman said the team had been in contact with Smith. The spokesman said there “is no substance to the rumors that he was jumped.”
Smith sustained a minor stab wound at a party at his own house in late June. Smith also was arrested on a DUI charge in Miami Beach in late January.
