The San Francisco 49ers added linebacker Aldon Smith to the 53-man roster from the exempt list Saturday.

Smith was suspended in August for nine games for violating the NFL’s policy on personal conduct and substance abuse.

To make room for Smith on the roster, the 49ers placed defensive back Jimmie Ward on injured reserve.

Smith is the fastest player in league history to collect 30 sacks as he did it in 27 games. His 42 sacks from 2011-13 are the second most in the NFL over that span.

Ward had 23 tackles and two pass breakups in eight games (one start) this season. The 49ers took him No. 30 overall in this year’s draft.
